Buttons - Misc. - 1970s?

This unusual button in an Arabic(?) language was found, I think, in Seattle in the late 1970s. Any readers out there able to translate this?

Lindsey, who was 10-years old at the time, vanished while walking home through the middle of town. Hopefully the case will be solved soon.

Buttons - Commercial - 1980s?

Deluxe Bars & Grills

Another mystery button. I am guessing this was made for the De Luxe Bar & Grill on Seattle's Capitol Hill, a place I have never visited. The image on the button is very small and I'm wondering if the cartoonist here is someone I know. The style reminds me of Ed DeVore or Flicky Ford.

Buttons - Places - 1990s?

Idaho (R)

On reverse of this plastic button: 23, Stoffel 10960

I didn't know the word "Idaho" was a registered trademark word. Did you hear about the Idaho State Legislature? They are divided between the Potato Party and the Horse Party, always cancelling each out with eye votes and neigh votes.
