1.25" dia. portrait button shows Betty Boop in a black dress posing between stage curtains as if making her debut and, in fact, this button likely dates from the time of her first appearance in 1931. The button was made by Parisian Novelty and their name appears on the lower curl. Lower right front of the button includes copyright symbol and creator's name "Fleischer Studios." Cello surface has small scuff mark near the upper right edge about 5/16" long. This is largely on the yellow curtain area which slightly darkened the color but is barely noticeable. 1/16" cello flake off top side edge of the button but only shows on the front as a narrow 1/16" long dark mark. Vast majority of the button displays clean and glossy. There are a number of other very tiny scuff marks on the left curtain but these only show in reflected light. Technically VG, but displays VF. In view of its presentable condition and rarity the piece has a very conservative opening bid. Only our seventh example in 47 years.
