Item Description
Each is 1.75" w/W&H back papers. This buxom lady in her fancy outfit, with plenty of leg showing, was a favorite stock design in the 20th century's first decade. We've offered various imprints (see next lot) and even mirrors in the past, but this is the first time we've had a matched "before" and "after" pair issued for the same event. Both of these state: "Souvenir Retail Butchers And Meat Dealers' Protective Ass'n. Kennywood Park, July 22 ' 08". The lady holding donkey's ears is titled "On My Way"  and  Exc., while scene of her being tossed is titled "Oh Mama" and has tiny scattered cello bumps, minor surface wear in reflected light and two microscopic 1/16" craze lines at lower right. Button retains great gloss. Both in superb color and rare.
