Item Description
Items are from the 1930s and early 40s. The felt piece advertises an Oklahoma dealer and is 6" long. The smallest lapel stud is .5" dia. and the largest button is 2-1/8". Earliest button and perhaps from the 1920s reads "You Can Do It With A Reo" advertising a firm in Des Moines, Iowa. Reverse has rarely seen back paper from an Iowa jobber. Tiniest bit of age on the front. Second button is an oval reading "Reo Speedwagon." This is by Parisian. Next is actually a pocket mirror 1.75" with their logo at the center and surrounding text "Berwick Store Company/Distributors." NM. Next two are from WWII with larger reading "Reo Motors, Inc./Auxiliary Police/Lansing, Mich." Smaller reads "Buy U.S. Defense Bonds/Make Reo 100%." The enamel pin is a small oval with the company name. This has some near microscopic chipping of the blue enamel. The reverse has inscribed serial number "875." The lapel stud has a treaded post back and shows the company logo in rwb enamel. All items are Exc. to Mint except as noted. Numerous rarities.
