Eight item "West Virginia" has blank back paper and reverse celluloid has hairline .5" cello split but laying perfectly flat and front displays Mint. This piece is particularly rare. The ninth item has St. Louis Button Co. paper and is another rarity reading "Young Campaigners For Prohibition Amendment/State Of West Virginia." All are NM displaying Mint except as noted. Numerous rarities.
