Item is a 1.25" celluloid with W&H back paper but rather than a spring pin reverse holds 1.5" stickpin. There are traces of a ribbon on the reverse now mostly missing. Pictured in an aerial view and text is "The Lackawanna Mills And The Scranton Button Company." Celluloid has hairline vertical air streak at the center but is totally clean. This company began by pressing clothing buttons out of shellac. In the 1920s it branched into records of the same material offering production to any retailer who desired their own label. With other recording companies in 1924 it formed the American Record Corporation. From 1929 on Scranton pressed such labels as Brunswick, Regal, Domino, Vocalion and others. Capitol Records acquired the plant in 1946 with a closure coming in 1980. Other than a couple of Edison and Victor pieces from the early 1900s this is the earliest piece we know of that relates to the record industry.
