One small size sew thru Goodyear Rubber Co. political button. As back marked Goodyear rubber buttons go, this one is one of the most desirable among collectors. It also appeals to political memorabilia collectors as it is said to have represented the Greenback Party which was active during the years 1874-1889. This small size button is finely detailed in molded rubber.
