Large Antique Celluloid Button The Sheik 3 1/8 Price Per Button polychrome meissen lovely English knitPrice is per button for this pair of fabulous celluloid buttons. Each has the likeness of an Arabian sheik affixed to a mottled background. I believe that these were made due to the popularity of the silent movie The Sheik starring Rudolph Valentino, released in 1921. The Sheik movie was extremely popular amongst women and made Rudolph Valentino one of the first sex symbol movie stars. Each button measures 3 1 8 in diameter and has three black pieces
