These pinback buttons were part of an 1896 collection of pinback buttons that we had acquired. They were used as a premium from Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. They appear to be from the same set. It is unknown how many are in the complete set. Each of these pinback buttons have an image of a pretty theatre actress from the Victorian period. There are a few different Sweet Caporal and Whitehead & Hoag Company advertising paper inserts in the back. One paper insert is missing. In the order pictured, they have the following women: Ellaline Terriss Minnie Seligman Helen T.
