Item Description
First two are 1" and first has back paper from Montreal maker T.P. Tansey while the second has no paper. The first shows marching solider against flag with slogan "England Forever." NM. Second has gorgeous color scene of British bulldog sinking his fangs into the underside of a German dachshund. Text is "He's Doing His Bit, So Am I./Toronto/K Of K Day, May 4th 1916." Button has light stain around the reverse but just some light general toning of the front and the slightest hint of a little rim spotting but exceedingly minor. Fine. Last, without back paper, names maker on the front "Copr. W.M. Miller, N.Y.C. 1916" with cartoon balloon next to Uncle Sam's head reading "Let 'Em Come" as a bi-plane flies in the sky and he places a ship in the ocean waters. Primary caption is "Preparedness." A gorgeous and essentially Mint example.
