Item Description
Each of these pictures a comic character type illustration but we don't know any specific character they may have been inspired by. First is 2-3/16" reading "WHPS/Jan 47." A young red head in green headband and sweater seems to be speaking into a microphone. No maker's name. Exc. and displaying Mint. The larger piece is 2.5" showing young woman with dog with tiny initials on bottom edge "M.H." Text is "WPHS June 48." This has maker's name on curl of Phila. Badge Co. Right edge has tan age marks from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock and extending inward about .25". Still vast majority remains clean and glossy. First we've seen of either of these. Rare buttons issued in very small quantities to class members.
