About this Item

No place or dates, presumed early to mid 1890s. Celluloid style faces, with solid metal backs imprinted with Caporal Cigarettes advertising copy. Stickpin style backs, although the Tennye Poole pin is missing the stickpin. Three with metal rims around the face, two without. All measure approximately 7/8 inches in diameter and feature a portrait photo of the performer. All the performers were either singers or actors or both, being at the top of American pop culture in the 1890s. Pinbacks in GOOD condition, with uneven moderate toning and fading. Some with minor soiling and/or foxing to the faces. The imprints on the reverse of all are very worn and barely legible. (will sell individually too).
