Item Description
7/8" button has W&H back paper. The pictured vehicle has the maker name "Milwaukee" across it on a diagonal in yellow lettering. Surrounding text reads "National Automobile Exhibition/Coliseum/Chicago/March 23-30, 1901." The car pictured on this button when it occasionally comes to auction is typically estimated in the $20,000-$40,000 range. The button advertising it is also a rarity. Extreme edge has seven barely showing 1/32" gray dots plus one above last letter of "Milwaukee." Full gloss. Intense color. Displays NM. We had one in Auction #208, our first in a long time, that realized over $300.00.
