Description
Today, we will start featuring a collection of political Americana purchased from an old-time collector. Pieces were chosen for a combination of scarcity and condition, with an emphasis on the latter. Most of the collection was comprised of celluloid pinback buttons, but there are some GREAT earlier pre-1896 pieces, as well. Some standard abbreviations used include: cello = celluloid pinback button, litho = lithograph pinback button, ferro = ferrotype. All items’ sizes are denoted, as well as condition. We can not stress how rare it is for us to buy to a high-quality collection of this scope and magnitude. This specific item is a POSSIBLY UNIQUE FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT 1 1/4″ DEMOCRATIC VICTORY BALL CELLULOID PICTORIAL BUTTON W/ ORIGINAL RIBBON ATTACHED. THE BUTTON IS PRISTINE & MINT, AND THE RIBBON SHOWS ONLY MINOR WEAR. WE ARE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS BUTTON WAS-IT APPEARS TO BE EITHER A 1936 OR A 1940 IMAGE. WHAT WE ARE CERTAIN OF, IS THAT IT’S EXTREMELY RARE. EVEN THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH APPEARS TO BE “CRUVER MFG” IS A MYSTERY TO US. HERE IS A CHANCE TO OBTAIN ONE OF THE RAREST 1 1/4″ FDR PINBACKS KNOWN IN THE HOBBY. IT MAY BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF AGAIN! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
