Item Description
First is 5" tall with a blue and white paper label on the reverse by W&H that we've never seen before. The reverse is a 1.5" vertical stickpin. The badge is choice color celluloid surrounded by brass rim and mounted to red/yellow ribbons accented by a pair of bells. Text is "Meet Me At The Sacramento Free Street Fair & Trades Carnival/Official Souvenir/April 30th To May 5th 1900." Rare, beautiful and Exc. Second is classic stock design in 1.75" size by W&H although this example does not have their backpaper but it does have their patent date on the curl. This one was issued "4th Annual Corn Carnival, Atchison, Kansas, Sep. 22, 1898." Superb, essentially Mint condition.
