4 Goodyear PT Antique Rubber Buttons Lady Liberty
These four black rubber buttons were made by the Novelty Rubber Co. (marked N.R. Co.), and marked Goodyear. Included are two of the desirable Lady Liberty buttons, and two small round buttons. The sizes are 5/8" to 1 5/8" in diameter. They are in very good condition, showing fine detail, and appear to be undug. * Goodyear developed vulcanized rubber in 1849, making way for rubber buttons. The Goodyear brothers both fought for the patent rights until 1851, and now any buttons from this era are considered very desirable.
