Item Description
1.25” button from small series depicting movie cowboys issued by Freihoffer bakeries in Reading, Pa. This example includes “Bill Boyd” facsimile signature portraying him in the character of Hopalong Cassidy with rim text reading “For Democracy 100%.” Some of these we’ve seen with a back paper reading “Freihoffer’s/The Perfect Loaf/©1942/Jay-Gee/Enterprises/Reading, Pa.” However, that paper is not present on this example and has been missing from a few of the other examples we’ve seen for other cowboys such as Roy Rogers, Charles Starrett, Bill Elliot and Gene Autry. One of only four examples we've offered in five decades. Upper right has air spot over three letters of "Democracy" as made but still totally Mint as made. See Roy Rogers from same series as next item.
