Item Description
First is 1.5" with horizontal bar pin and Baltimore Badge paper. Button shows the globe with initials in gold "YPA." Although a little misshapen, depicted are the North and South American continents. North shows a church while South shows a massive building with tall center tower and a fountain in the foreground. At the center stands a buffalo. Probably issued for some group which used the exposition for a convention site. Extreme bottom edge curl has couple hairline splits in the celluloid but not deep and just barely showing where the celluloid wraps around the curl. Still displays Exc. Second is 1.25" also with the theme of the North and South American continents with the designs formed by women in flowing dresses. This is a rare variety of the official design as it was issued for a single day and reads "Commercial Travelers Day July 11." Light age on the W&H backpaper but the cello is Exc. Last is exposition classic showing chubby pig seated in a frying pan. This was a souvenir from "Swift's Premium Ham And Bacon." Typically these all have some age stain for some reason and this just has a few very faint marks and is in better displayable condition than the vast majority we've seen. Reverse has paper reading "The Products Of Swift & Company Are Sold In Every Country On The Globe."
