Item Description
1.25" in great color and detail promotes establishment "Joseph D. Kueny Propr." He was French and also a chef at the Metropolitan Opera House, owner/chef of the Cincinnati Zoo Restaurant and owned hotels in Michigan and Florida. Button is missing its W&H backpaper and has a 1/8" long slice of celluloid off the side edge at 7 o'clock. Celluloid loss does not show on the front and while under magnification there are numerous faint hairline scratches and a couple of pinpoint indents, when viewed normally the button retains its essential attractiveness. Only the second example we've ever offered and the first exceeded $350. Hake book Collectible Pin-Back Buttons photo example Wildlife Section #247.
