1946 25th Anniversary Marquee Green Bay Packers 1 ¼” Celluloid Pinback Button W/ Ribbon & Football Charm (Paul Muchinsky Collection) “Possibly Only Known Example”

Issued to commemorate the Green Bay Packers joining of the NFL in 1921, this 25th Anniversary pinback button is ultra-rare. Per our research and to the best of our knowledge, this is the only known surviving example.

Measuring 1 ¼”, this small yet majestic celluloid is divided into three horizontal sections, green, yellow, green. Centered in the yellow section the words “Green Bay Packers 25th Anniversary” are printed in block lettering. Completing the design is a ribbon and a very detailed football charm where the laces and panel sections can be seen. Excellent condition overall with foxing to the yellow field. Provenance from the Paul Muchinsky Collection.
