Buckwheats the Breakfast of Rascals

Buckwheat, the Little Rascal, is wearing a blue coat and a blue hat and is leaning on a black, slanted object; the lettering is white and black; all images and lettering are printed over an orange background.

This is a button featuring Buckwheat, a member of the Little Rascals, a gang of kids from Our Gang, a series of comedy short movies. Our Gang was produced between 1922 and 1944 by many different companies. The actor featured in the photo is Billie Thomas, the second person to act as Buckwheat; the original actor was, in fact, a girl. Thomas became Buckwheat in 1935 while the character was still considered a female. The character was referred to as "he" starting in 1936.
