Each is a 13/16" litho. The first "Mickey Mouse" button is the only one of 20 that is without a maker's name. However, front carries his name plus "Copy. 1928-30 By W.E. Disney". We've placed this with the other nine with back text "Western Theatre Premium Co. 1956 S. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, Cal". These nine are: Joe E. Brown, Nancy Carroll, Gary Cooper, Janet Gaynor, Leon Janney, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Victor McLaglen, and Wheeler/Woolsey. The other set of ten, which likely predate the previous set by a year, all have curl text "Western Theatre Premium Co. Pittsburgh, Pa". These are: "Mickey Mouse" hands on hips early pose, Nancy Carroll, Charles Chaplin, Hoot Gibson, Laurel and Hardy, Lucky Lindy, Harold Lloyd, Ken Maynard, Mary Pickford, and Chas. (Buddy) Rogers. Light tone on five in first set, but all near 100% paint and overall VF to NM. The two Mickeys are scarce and the sets rarely offered. See two following related sets.
