Vintage 1970s "Come to the Levi's Mountain at Sears!" Large 4" Promo Pinback Button
Up for sale is a highly collectible, oversized 4-inch vintage promotional pinback button from a classic 1970s retail collaboration: "Come to the Levi's Mountain at Sears!"
This clever marketing piece features a striking blue-and-white graphic that appears to show a snowy mountain range at first glance. Upon closer inspection, the "mountains" are actually the snow-covered knees of someone wearing a pair of classic Levi's denim jeans! This large button was worn by store employees or distributed as a promotional giveaway to advertise the massive denim departments ("Levi's Mountains") inside Sears stores during the peak of the 1970s denim boom.
Item Specifics:
- Brand Collaboration: Levi Strauss & Co. / Sears, Roebuck and Co.
- Era: 1970s
- Type: Oversized celluloid promotional advertising pinback button
- Slogan: "COME TO THE LEVI'S MOUNTAIN AT SEARS!"
- Graphic Motif: Abstract illusion of a snow-covered denim mountain peak

Condition Note (Please Read):
- Front Face: Beautiful vintage condition. The white background remains surprisingly bright, and the iconic blue graphic is bold and crisp. The protective celluloid coating is smooth and intact with only minor light surface scuffs from handling over the decades.
