Item Description
First is 1.75" showing streetcar and promoting a 1910 event in Long Beach. No backpaper probably as issued but otherwise displays Mint. The other 3 buttons are 1.25" all issued for the company's trolley trips around Los Angeles. The first is titled "Balloon Route Trolley Trip." Couple of very faint age dots to the left of the balloon but barely showing. Backpaper by American Artworks is stained and damaged. Cello still displays VF. The other 2 buttons promote the "Orange Empire Trolley Trip." While the design of these is similar, one has brighter colors with backpaper by Western Badge, the other has backpaper by Pilgrim of Malden, Mass. These 2 are both Exc. and display Mint.
