Buttons - Popular Culture - 1980s

On the curl: Most of the curl is cut off, but I can read "Warren, MI."

I am pretty sure this button was given to me in the 1980s when the Stooges were rediscovered.

Buttons - Popular Culture - 1980s?

This Lone Ranger button was produced in Japan. I have no idea how or when this particular piece landed in my box of buttons, except that it was probably dated back to the 1980s.

To us Boomers there is only one Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore, the actor who carried this 1950s role into his later private life in spite of legal consequences. Moore's story is worth a movie treatment by itself.

Buttons - Misc. - 1990s

Here's my guess: This button might've belonged to my daughter, Rose, who attended school here in McCleary. The school's mascot is the Wildcat. Other than that I cannot begin to guess why this button is here.

This button was presented to me during the period I drew a comic strip for the junior high newspaper. The central character was a superhero named Norman, The Wonder Prune.
