Item Description
We've offered about five of these in five decades and this is the first essentially Mint example we've offered since the Hake Collection example in Auction #183 realized $2,938.88. This wonderful 1.25” portrait button shows her posing between stage curtains as if making her debut and, in fact, this button likely dates from the time of her first appearance in 1931. Made by Parisian Novelty with their name on the curl. Lower right includes small copyright symbol and “Fleischer Studios.” Button has full gloss and perfect centering. A gem among comic character rare buttons and a truly rare essentially Mint example.
