| | | The pictures show a front and back view of all (10) 1896 Sweet Caporal Cigarette Premium Celluloid Pin Back Buttons With Sayings in this lot. These pinback buttons were part of an 1896 collection of pinback buttons that we had acquired. They were used as a premium with packages of 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 a saying or slogan from the Victorian era. There are a Sweet Caporal and Whitehead & Hoag Company advertising paper inserts in the back of all but one of them. One is missing. Each is also marked ''SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE'' on the front. In the order pictured, they have the following sayings: SET 'EM UP AGAIN KISS ME QUICK NEVER TOUCHED ME DON'T KICK WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT? LOOK THE OTHER WAY PLEASE HERE'S YOUR HAT, WHAT'S YOUR HURRY? YOU CAN'T LOSE ME, CHARLIE DON'T CARE IF I DO AH THERE The paper inserts are marked as follows: SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE BUTTONS MANUFACTURED BY THE WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO. BADGES & BUTTONS NEWARK, N.J. PAT. JULY 21, 1896 PAT. APRIL 14, 1896 PAT. JULY 17, 1894 The pin back buttons each measure 7/8'' wide. They appear to be in good to excellent condition with some age discoloration or spotting as pictured. One is missing the paper insert as stated above and one edge of the celluloid has pulled away from the metal (see bottom row of picture #2). |
