Item Description
Each of the buttons is 1.75" to 2.25". Each of the ribbons is 3.5" to 5" long. The first two items have identical buttons but name tags for a man and his wife. This event was in Hartford, 1940 and button is a real photo showing elephant surrounded by text "Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Circus/15th Annual Convention." Next from Hagerstown, Md, 1949 with button reading "The John Pawling Great London 3 Ring Circus." Next is from 1951, Washington, D.C. for group's "25th Anniversary Convention" with name of "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus" on the ribbon. Reverse of this has the bar snapped off the pin but includes a safety pin replacement. Next is from Gainesville, Texas, 1952. Next showing tiger is from Reading, Pa, 1963. Next showing clown and costumed woman is from same event as previous item although ribbon text in a different color and with the two buttons being different. Small bit of age on the 1951 item but overall an extremely clean group Exc. to Mint. Very limited issues.
