1 Unknown Figural Pinback Button & 1 Enamel Lapel Button ( Item # 39540 )

I don't know what either of these represent, I have tried to research them with no luck. The one on the left has what looks like a religious child surrounded by holly, 7/8" in diameter. The front is in very good condition, the reverse side shows wear & some light rust, sold "as found". The lapel button is in good vintage condition, 5/8" in diameter. It is enameled with 5 stars inside a red crown, and the initials W. M. A. along with some symbols. There are a few tiny chips in one area of the white enamel; under a magnifying light the green enamel shows some light spidery lines. I am asking $8 for the pair or $5 each.

1923 School Giver Community Fund Pinback Button ( Item # 40029 )

For its age, this pinback button is in good condition. I have no information about it. It measures 3/4" in diameter. The front is in very good condition, the sides have very minor wear, and the reverse side has a few tiny rust spots. It looks like there might have been some printing or advertising on the reverse side, but I cannot make it out. I hope to be in as good condition when I am 87 years old!

1968 Pinback Button, Old Steam & Gas Club, New Concord, Ohio ( Item # 36800 )

The front and sides of this badge are in very good condition. The buyer may want to do a little cleaning on the reverse side, I am selling it "as found". Otherwise the badge is in very good condition. The pin fastener is in very good condition & fits tightly. The badge measures about 1 3/4" in diameter; it is for: The Old Steam & Gas Club, Inc.; July 25, 26 & 27 1968; New Concord, Ohio. The side of the badge is marked: Fargo Rubber Stamp, Fgo. N.D. What a great old car!

Collection of Six Assorted Pinback Buttons ( Item # 42317 )

These six pinback buttons are mostly in very good condition--"Keep Ohio Waters Clean" shows its age around the edges. It is not dated. The pinbacks all work well and the backs are clean. "New Kids On The Block" is marked on the edge: "Button Up 2011 Austin Troy MI 48083". "Buddy Drug Dog" is not marked on the edge. The other three buttons are all marked "Pizza Hut Inc." with the copyright mark. The dates on the edges are 1988, 1990, and 1992. The last purple one is a hologram - I have taken the pictures straight on and then sideways so you could see the hologram. A nice clean collection.

DURAN DURAN Musical Group 1984 Pinback Button ( Item # 42316 )

The pinback on this DURAN DURAN button works very well. There is some darkness on the reverse side. The front is in very good vintage condition with a few small white dots (not visible to the naked eye), a few very short scratches along with some minor photography reflections. The side of the button is marked "Tritech Music Ltd 1984" along with the copyright mark. I did some research on this musical group and their pinback buttons, and several references rate this particular button as being rare. It measures 1 1/4" in diameter.

Vintage Sepia Real Photo of Child Pinback Button Advertising ( Item # 39571 )

This pinback appears to be celluloid over metal with a nice sepia photo of a young girl. The photo front is in very good condition. The pinback is 7/8" in diameter. The reverse side shows some light wear and still contains a portion of the advertising paper label. It is printed "Lauck Bros., 77 Main? Zanes..." (for Zanesville Ohio).
The information I found on the internet is: Lauck, John Gilbert, Photographer, born in Ohio in 1876. With his older brother, Charles, he was a partner in the Zanesville (Muskingum) firm of Lauck Brothers during the late 1890s.
