Button 180: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs # 4 of 7. Wassoon (cityscape) Mark Schultz

180. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs: Wassoon (1993). No. 4 in a set of 7 C&D buttons.

A few hundred years earlier ---in the 21st century--- Wassoon was known as Washington, D.C. Along with the semi-submerged New York City, it is the only known sanctuary of human survivors in a post-apocalyptic world-gone-mad. Unlike its northern neighbors, the Wassoon tribe has a great respect for recorded knowledge and thus sends its seductive and savvy ambassador, Hannah Dundee, to obtain key surviving books from the fortified NYC library. This forbidden knowledge is guarded by "Cadillac" Jack Tenrec and the other "Mechanics" who do not wish to repeat the fatal mistakes made by earlier generations of humans, such as atomic proliferation and ecological neglect.

This button series, designed by Ray Fehrenbach, was among the items (including boxed candy bars) created by Kitchen Sink Press itself shortly before it ended its Wisconsin phase, moved to Massachusetts and merged with Tundra Publishing.

1.25 inch diameter. $3.00

One note, for serious button collectors, you may want to read the KSP BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years, or see the COMPLETE KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient while it loads.
