##MUSICBQ0197 - 1983 Ozzy Osbourne Licensed Pinback Button from "Button-Up"

Marked "Button-up" and "Copyright 1983 Monowise LTD" around the rim. Monowise is a Trademarked name that Ozzy owns and uses on a lot of merchandise. The pins feature a picture of Osbourne and band other members. 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.
