Pinback button celebrating movie actor Ronald Reagan, c. 1945. Litho. Issued as an advertising premium for Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice.
Though considered a second-tier leading man, Reagan was one of Hollywood's highest paid actors in the late 1940s, having signed an unprecedented 7-year, million-dollar contract with Warner Brothers in 1945.
This pinback was part of a series featuring contemporary movie stars. Needless to say, it's the most desirable of the series, and seldom appears on the market. We offer a choice specimen.
