President button (and baseball etc)

[Shirleylalala]

Does anyone know why there are different backgrounds for the President button? I have see white, yellow and blue.
Thank you,
Shirley

Hi Shirley,

That is a great question and I do not have an answer. I assume you are referring to the little metal buttons. I have a bunch of those. In addition to the presidents, I also have movie stars, baseball players, and western themed characters. However, all of mine have white or yellow backgrounds. I have never seen one with a blue background. I guess the manufacturer just wanted a variety of colors and those were the three chosen. That is my best answer.

Thank you for sharing your question with us, Shirley. Maybe one of our other collectors will have a better reply than mine.

Thank you Diane. That is exactly what I am referring to. I will try to find a blue one and post it.

Thank you, Shirley. I also have an Andrew Johnson button but mine is a white background. I do see the blue pigment in the background of your Andrew Johnson. Very interesting.
