Item Description
Similar to the 1.25" size (item #263) but with larger image, more coloration, and the text in blue rather than black. This is listed as Hake #3184 with 2004 guide value of $250.00. However this version has metal ring on the lower edge and holds aluminum cap which in turns holds skeletal remains of lucky rabbit foot. Complete with the original back paper reading "You Can't Stop Teddy's Luck./The Rabbit's Foot Charm./This Rabbit Was Killed At Midnight In The Dark Of The Moon, On The Grave Of A Cross-Eyed Spaniard, On San Juan Hill, Cuba." Celluloid has thin vertical line on right side of TR's face as printed and celluloid shows light surface wear but only in reflected light. Button still displays Extremely Fine. Much scarcer with this back paper and foot compared to the version without.
