| | | The pictures show a front and back view of all (4) 1896 Perfection 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 from Perfection Cigarettes. They appear to be from the same or a similar 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 Perfection Cigarettes advertising paper inserts in the back of three of them. In the order pictured, they have the following sayings:
HIRE A HALL!
COME AGAIN, I DON'T GET YOU
I WILL BE A SISTER TO YOU
LIGHT UP, YOUR PIPE'S OUTThe paper inserts are marked as follows: (top two pins)
