Item Description
13/16" litho related to the previous and following lots. This is among the rarest of all comic character related pin-backs. As best as we can recall we have never offered this button and we know of only one other example. Button is designed much like a Kellogg's Pep button and in fact some buttons in the Togs series use the same artwork as in the Kellogg's series. This however is one of the buttons unique to the Togs set and by far the rarest. In addition to his name on the curl additional curl text reads "Copr. 1947 Famous Artist Syn." Back of the piece has the typical "Comic Togs" logo. Button is essentially Mint. We are opening this at what we feel is a most conservative amount but no amount it brings would really surprise us.
