These are just amazing for those who love celluloid, the creamy constitution, the smooth sumptuous feel. Three huge celluloid buttons (8" long) are meant to sit with a metal easel back. Two are missing and only have hooks. The horses and races are from Australia; two are for Penarta winning 1950 Da Casta Handicap Morphetville and 1952 Flying Handicap, Strathalbyn. The third is for the horse Pennboh for winning the 1952 Nurizootpa Handicap Trial Stakes Angaston. All are magnificent hand-colored photographic imagery on celluloid so beautifully executed that they are infinitely appealing. Overall condition is EX-MT.
