OT - Early Celluloid Advertising Button

This 1.25" button was made around 1901-1902 by Whitehead & Hoag. It advertised "Widow Jones Ladies Suits," which seem a little old fashoned (to me) for that era. The best part: I found this at a local antique store for only $5.00! Although there is staining on the backpaper this is still a great example from the "golden age" of celluloid buttons.
