Item Description
Six of these ten pieces are 15/16" tokens featuring star portrait and name on the front while reverse has studio name, film title and the word "Popsicle" on the reverse. The ones in this series are row 1, #4 "Marion Davies." In row 2 the final three of Gary Cooper, Marie Dressler and Clark Gable. In row 3 Frederick March and Johnny Weissmueller, which has the title "'Tarzan And His Mate'." The unusual pieces in this lot are the first 3 in row 1 which are as follows: first is 15/16" in brass showing "Jean Harlow." Each side has a small slot as made to hold bracelet straps. Second is also "Jean Harlow" but without the slots and in brass finish rather than aluminum. Reverse has her studio name but no film title and no word "Popsicle." Third is in copper luster for "Marion Davies" with tiny loop at top. Again, reverse has her studio name but no movie title or word "Popsicle." The last of the varieties is #1 in row 2. This is slightly larger at 1" and shows "Constance Bennett." Reverse has her studio name and movie title "'A Bed Of Roses" but no word "Popsicle." Some luster off the one Harlow piece but the rest are N. Mint and display Mint.
