Elwar Button Mystery

Do you think he will lower the price? 

One of those certificates sold a couple of years ago. I don't remember the price, but it was a lot! Way up in the hundreds, at least!. He might lower it, after the third time it doesn't sell, assuming that happens. Rare stuff!

I am including in this thread because Ferry ripped off the big creature button art.    no info on curl, a nice 2 incher, 2 piece construction.  mint. 

The UMA buttons are a whopping 3 inches, curl date 2005, so already over ten years old... minty mint.   The photos on those 2 buttons are super clear in their glorious b & w detail.

any INFO who made the UMA buttons?    NO benday dots on either of those 3 buttons.

any INFO who made the UMA buttons?   

UMA member Richard Olson (where are you, Richard?) made those UMA member buttons, as well as the UMA "Toy Tour" buttons.



Both sides of the same 2 button package.

Hey Mike, I put that info out there as well in a video link.      as far as the say it with buttons curl.   it was nice to see the other buttons in that series, thank you Jerod, you got some amazing examples....   love the Lets make this perfectly clear Frankenstein button.   I would kill for that one.

Mike thanks for the trio of the UMA buttons.   I feel lucky to get the two that I have.

anybody have the Famous Monsters Ferry buttons?   so far I have the Creature, my friend Andrew has the Frank, and there is the crappy creature button with the awful big red fish lips.

hugohernandez -  I got these as a teen at a Swap Meet in the mid-1980s. I have one or two duplicates if I remember right, but not the Frankenstein one. I'd have to track them down to be positive. They are cool for sure!

uh that Mad Man is pretty dang cool!   He reminds me of a sasquatch from a UFO, sometimes they are seen together.    He is crazy cool.   I sent you a PM.

MIKE, is that your personal UMA button collection and why aren't they being made anymore.    as in Richard where in the heck did you dissapear to?

in other words I bet there are others besides me whom would love some of those.     I like the full color ones too.

Yes, those are mine. They were only made for a limited time. I kinda doubt anybody would be interested in making more?

I'm sending you a B/W Creature, Mummy, IM button, to complete your set. I had 2 of them.

The color ones were premiums for the 3 traveling classic monster toy exhibits that the guys put together.

[hugohernandez]

Thanks to Jerod and Mike and other wonderful button peoples.    my button collection is all grown up.

[Mike Scott]

Great collection, but where are your large Elwar buttons?

Really diggin' that "Say It With Buttons" set!
