Item Description
These are very early Radio Orphan Annie premium buttons from 1931. Each is 1.25" celluloid sent to respondents who voted in an Ovaltine sponsored contest indicating their preference as to whether Ovaltine should be served with ice or ice cream. Voter's preferring ice received the Annie button and those preferring ice cream received the Corntassel button. The Annie has loss of silver luster from the metal back. The front has scattered light scratches seen only in reflected light but displays glossy Mint. The Corntassel is also missing the silver flashing from the reverse. Front right side has exceedingly shallow dent just a little bit noticeable to the touch. The button displays totally clean and glossy but also light scratches seen only in reflected light. Both carry the name of the strip creator Harold Gray. These are early and scarce buttons with many auction sales for each in excess of $400.00. Pair.
