Item Description
1.25” somewhat off-center so the bottom edge inscription “Milwaukee 1900” is partially on the curl. The initials in the design stand for: International Printing Pressmen & Assistants’ Union. The group formed in 1889 after a split from the International Typographical Union and at its peak of 125,000 members was the largest printing trades union. Reverse has W&H backpaper. Celluloid by the collet has very slightest partial split over a .5” length but barely showing and causing no problem. Button displays Mint and is rare. Comes with Hake’s COA.
