Description:
A brass FG button 7/8" in diameter, showing somewhat less of the scene than the Joyce's Jems buttons. $12 from Joni Goldbarg through Ebay, April, '99.
Remark:
A tree with a high picket fence replaces the grasses on the left, there is nothing on the ground in the foreground, there is less of the scene pictured on the right of the fox, and the fox has his left paw on the first step of a simple ladder leading toward the grapes. BBB Plate 154, #20, which says that the button was reproduced in the 1950's.
