Item Description
Set of 18 different tin litho pinbacks, each 13/16" dia. c. 1949. This is the largest amount of different buttons from this set we have ever offered or seen and we believe this to be a complete set. All picture a Shmoo character engaged in some type of activity ranging from playing football to acting out William Tell although here named "William Shmootell." Other interesting depictions are - "Super Shmoo, Captain KiddShmoo, Dr. Shmoo, Sweet Shmoo, Mailman Shmoo, The Shmoo On The Flying Trapeze, Lefty O'Shmool, Tumbling Tumbleshmoos, Susie Shmoo, The All-American Shmoo, Sailor Shmoo, Cookie Shmoo, Cutie Shmoo, Hugh Shmoo, Chief Sitting Shmoo, Jr. Shmoo" and button w/Shmoo singing and "Shmoosic In The Air" text. "Super Shmoo" image is a bit off-center. Scattered tiny traces of wear, but most are VF-Exc. w/a few in lesser grade. Barry Lutsky Collection.
