1900? Small (⅝“ diameter) button, perhaps presenting “The Stag with Antlers Caught in a Tree.” $10 from Kara Strouss, Chillocothe, IL, through Ebay, Nov., ’10.
I am cataloguing this unusual button almost eleven years after we received it. One could say that I fell behind in cataloguing! The fable of the stag looking into the water and admiring his antlers but despising his legs, is frequently retold, but I think I have never before seen it on a button. Surprises keep coming! - Source
