As always, thank you for your interest and bidding! I was asked about staining, there is in the last photo visible behind the name Phil. It is about 1-1/4" long, you can see in the photo where it ends on the back of the button then there is a small brown dot of it and thats it. It is visible from the edge but does not go towards the front of the button as it is just along the very back edge. This does not show from the front, only from the edge view and back. Also of note and visible is the worn paint on the rear of the inner piece of the button. I'm assuming these buttons were worn many times for different campaign functions. The front is in remarkably good shape with only minor surface scuffing. There is a very short 1/32nd of an inch scratch and two dots that you can feel with your nail and you have to have good light to see any of them. Also this auction is going through to the end without any buy it now or early ending. I appreciate the interest in this auction and thank each person interested in it. If you have any questions about any buttons please ask and I will answer as quickly as possible. I have added 3 close up photos of the most popular button which makes 12 total photos and is the max I can display. If you need additional pictures please include your email address so I can send them to you. Thanks!Kelly read more
