Item Description

Played by actors such as Warner Oland, Boris Karloff, and in more recent years Christopher Lee and Peter Sellers. The stories were serialized in Colliers magazine and heard on the radio. This button was given to promote the 1940 movie serial. Scarce and in superb condition with almost no surface wear even under magnification. Essentially Mint.
