| | | | 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 blank for some reason. Each is also marked ''SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE'' on the front. In the order pictured, they have the following sayings: GIRL WANTED
KISS ME QUICK
DON'T PULL MY LEG
DON'T CARE IF I DO
THIS IS ON ME
DON'T KICK
AH THERE
I WILL BE A SISTER TO YOU
YOU CAN'T LOSE ME, CHARLIE
IT'S A GOOD THING PUSH IT ALONG The paper inserts are marked as follows: SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE
