Item Description
Large 2.5" button with metal back and bar pin. Gray paint worn off the reverse rim. Front remains clean although with two long cello cracks and a few scratches mostly across the white center panel. Apparently issued by a Connecticut construction company and reading "C.J. Maney Co., Inc. Reminds You/Tight Lips Save Ships." A very famous slogan but first we can recall seeing it printed on a button. Rare.
