Item Description
Each is 3" and each carries name of maker Phila Badge. The first from "Gratz" refers to the 39th graduating class which graduated in January 1948. Tiny bit of gray tone on far left edge and just the slightest mark towards the bottom. Vast majority is clean and glossy. Second item "O.H.S. Jan. '50" is most likely from Overbrook High School. Slight chance it could be Olney. Character depicted is meant to represent Brenda Starr. Artwork is signed Dale Messick. Messick was the cartoonist creator of this character. Many gray marks over the background but still full color and gloss. Third "WPHS Jan 50" is most likely from William Penn High School. Chance it could be West Philadelphia but our expert on these collector Hud Baer, who we thank for the information on this series, does not fit the West Philadelphia pattern. Numerous obvious age marks on the background but full color and gloss. Three scarce buttons we don't recall seeing before. See rare Black Cat comic book character school button #1298.
