Description
The listing, 1890s to Early 1900s Tobacciana SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTES Kiss Me Quick pin button advertising W&H BP has ended.
Offered is a very late 1890s or early 1900s Sweet Caporal Cigarettes' advertising giveaway pinback button "Kiss Me Quick." Backpaper that is present shows the manufacturer as Whitehead & Hoag of Newark, New Jersey.
The 7/8" celluloid has a small crack vertically below the "K" and a horizontal crack under Sweet Caporal. (Cigarette companies gave away many celluloid buttons during this golden age of buttons such as "I am the man who..." international flags, pretty lady pins and many others.)
Returned favor as a fan. Interesting time when tobacco companies included trading cards and pinback buttons as giveaways (similar to cereal companies).
