Fed up with towing the party line, this button bailed off of the front of an old Mao coat and who can blame it. Imported from the Shaanxi Province, the Mao jacket that this button hails from has been hard at work for over 40 years. Its buttons have been re-attached many times but this four-holer just couldn't face another day under the banner of the little red star. It also grew tired of the smoke from all those Gauloise and hated the never-ending onslaught of vegetarian restaurants. Now it lives in a French tin and gets to mingle at will.
Found in front of the newsstand in Astor Place.
