Item Description
Bold design on seldom seen 3.25” size button with name of maker Parisian Novelty on the curl. Text reads “The Great New/Saturday/Daily News/5¢.” This pioneering tabloid began in 1919 and for much of the 20th century held the record for circulation. Center has very slight indent dot that shows a little in reflected light but button displays totally clean. Limited distribution and rare. Only one we’ve seen.
