Item Description
First are nine vintage pieces c. early 1900s-c. 1950 with sizes of 7/8" up to a 6" "Good Roads Machinery" pencil topped by "Tomato Soup" can. First two buttons are not Campbell's but are a character created by Campbell Kids creator Grace Drayton. These are for a newspaper comic strip called "The Turr'ble Tales of Kaptain Kiddo" done with her sister in 1909. The club member buttons are the same but two different back papers. Next are two Soup mirrors from early 1900s. Round is VF, rectangle has edge stain and is VG. Next are all four known  designs c. 1950 showing four different Kids. These are all scarce and Mint. Remaining 16 pieces are c. 1980s or newer. Sizes are .5" for charm to 2.25" for buttons. Brass piece with 1900 exposition logo is a money clip with back text "Campbell's Soups 1983-84 Go For The Gold!" Three enamel pins name the NJ Jaycees. All Exc. to Mint except as noted. Nice collection.
