| | | The pictures show a front and back view of the (2) 1896 High Admiral 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 High Admiral 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 High Admiral Cigarettes and Whitehead & Hoag Company advertising paper inserts in the back of each of them. Each is also marked ''HIGH ADMIRAL CIGARETTE'' on the front. In the order pictured, they have the following sayings:
WANTED A WIFE
THERE ARE OTHERS, BUT NONE SO GOODThe paper inserts are marked as follows: COMPLIMENTS OF THE
HIGH ADMIRAL CIGARETTE
THE WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO.
BADGES & BUTTONS
NEWARK, N.J.
PAT. JULY 17, 1894
