These pinback buttons were part of an 1896 collection of pinback buttons that we had acquired. They were used as a premium from Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, Hassan Cigarettes, and two that are unknown. They are from different sets. It is unknown how many are in the different complete sets. Each of these pinback buttons have a saying or slogan from the Victorian era. There are advertising paper inserts in the back of two of them and one is embossed. Two also are marked ''SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE'' on the front. In the order pictured, they have the following sayings:
