A DIVISION THREE PICTORIAL CELLULOID BUTTON

1 Large early 20th century button depicting monkeys. This lot from the Lanier collection consists of a very unusual celluloid button with a high relief pierced escutcheon of the "Hear no evil. See no evil, Speak no evil" monkeys in silvered brass. We have never seen this button before and the escutcheon is pinned to the back as seen in the images on the mottled slightly convex thick celluloid back. A very cool and unusual example. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.
