Item Description
This group of 163 items are individually held in a 2x2" coin holders inserted into 10 full or partial plastic sheets. One large group of stickpins consists of 38 different plus 12 duplicates issued by Sweet Caporal Cigarettes with the name of the country flag indicated on the flag reverse. The second major group of flag stickpins consists of 75 different plus 14 duplicates. The back of the flag does not name the country pictured on the front but does have the text "Sweet Caporal Factory 30." In addition there are tin frames with celluloid inserts. These once had a small wire easel on the back but now missing from all. Six of these display the American flag, nine display the Cuban flag and one shows women. In addition there are four tin pins in a pennant shape with reverse text "Ensign Perfection Cut." There are also two 7/8" buttons issued to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. There are also two "American Navy" tobacco tags. Just a couple of the flags may be loose or off their stickpins but overall the vast majority of these items are Exc. to Mint. An outstanding extensive collection.
