Item Description
First is 1.75" with W&H paper. This is dated for 1898 and text is "Attend Wako Kween Karnival." A beautiful stock design but the first we've seen with this imprint for annual event in Waco, Texas. On the reverse a couple of cello flakes did not fold under the collet but they lay perfectly flat and the button is essentially Mint as made. Second at 1.25" has back paper from Dallas maker Fred L. Lake. Dated for 1912 "State Fair Of Texas" with additional text "Texas Boys Corn Club/U.S. Agri'l Dem. Work." The first we've seen and essentially Mint. Last is 1.75" with St. Louis Button Co. paper. Front shows state in gold with spouting oil wells and text "Center North Texas Oil And Gas Fields/Wichita Falls." c. 1920s and another first we've seen. NM displaying Mint.
