Item Description
First is 1" title "'Dad And Dave Come To Town.'" Unusual 1" real photo button combining cartoon style artwork with photographic head of each actor. This 1938 Australian release was shown in the USA in 1943 under the title "The Farmer Goes To Town." We believe pictured actors are Burt Bailey, Ann Richards, Fred MacDonald. Only the second we've seen. Lightly tanned but no stain. Second is inscribed simply "Smoky" showing horse and promoting movie in which a western loner forges a bound with a runaway horse. This was released in 1946. This one is 7/8". Last is 1" for "Buffalo Bill Meet Him In M-G-M's Annie Get Your Gun." Celluloid has some small surface scratches just showing a trifle in reflected light. This real photo button pictures Louis Calhern who played opposite Betty Hutton. Only the second we've seen.
