Background/Story
Here is another example of Olympic Pictogram buttons with a design from the 1964 Tokyo summer Olympics. The buttons are in coat (3/4 inch) and cuff (5/8 inch) sizes which suggests they were originally sold as part of a commemorative blazer set. The pictogram design symbolizes the sport of Rowing. The buttons are gold plated and feature beautiful red transparent enamel. The shank on these buttons is very similar to that of the other pictogram button shown on WRBA for the sport of Aquatics/Swimming.
