3.5" size full-color cello button made by Elwar Limited. c. 1965. ©Universal Pictures Inc. Universal copyright on rim curl. This first version features a stylized version which clearly represents Bela Lugosi's portrayal as Count Dracula. This version of the button saw extremely limited distribution due to a trademark infringement claim made by Lugosi's son. The design was ultimately changed, featuring the more common design showing an altered face, 2 hands instead of 1, Dracula with white bow tie instead of red medallion and differing "Dracula" font. Also, the Lugosi version sports bloody fangs whereas final version sports clean fangs. Two 1/8" stains on Dracula's bow tie and white shirt. These blend somewhat. Scattered traces of surface wear with a few streaks of air underneath the cello. Fine. Rare. For reference only we show the altered version to the right of the button we are offering.
