Item Description
11 different, each .75" and all marked on stud back by maker Pettibone, Cincinnati. Group leads off with illustration of China-man who has a long pigtail captioned by the words "Ah There." Others show baby in carriage, couple in rowboat, and bottle of "Fine Old Bourbon." A touch of light age stain on the outer perimeters of a couple but overall most are very clean and overall the group is VF. Rare early issues for a genre that has flourished throughout the history of lapel studs and buttons.
