1986 Licensed Madonna Pinback Button from "Button-Up"

Marked "Button-up" and "Copyright 1986 Boy Toy Inc." (Boy Toy is one of her trademarks) around the rim. These are from around the end of the Like a Virgin Tour that ran from 1984 - 1986. We uncovered them very recently in an old vending warehouse here locally. These licensed types are very scarce, yet easy to identify by the licensing info on the side of the button. Most of the musical pinbacks that you see for sale on Ebay or other online sites are reproductions. These licensed types retail for much higher prices. Excellent unused condition.
