Item Description
Button is 1.25" with back paper by maker Phila Badge. Reverse has .5" hairline cello split but cello lays completely flat. However front left side edge has slight trace of age mixed in with the red color around the word "With." Front text also includes "A Universal Picture." This was a 1932 release but spring pin holds a worn and split ribbon, the first we've seen, with black text reading "1931 All American Team/Greatest Foot-Ball Classic Of All Time!" The ribbon is nearly split in two where it lays over the reverse collet of the button and is actually split in two at the bottom where it was joined to an embossed brass football accent. Back of the ribbon is ink stamped "Keith's Theatre." While the ribbon is in poor condition we've left it attached as it is the first example we've seen on this otherwise scarce movie button. The button itself still displays Fine and glossy.
