Item Description
Each of these silvered brass fobs has a tiny 1/16" drilled hole near the bottom as that was apparently some early collectors method of mounting them for display but they are otherwise in Exc. condition and feature Exc. designs. First is a rather large piece at 2" tall. Near the top a man with a plow and two horses is depicted above the North American continent and world globe. Surrounding and bottom text reads "The International Land And Investment Co./Omaha U.S.A." The back of the piece has large text "Gulf Coast Lands Of Texas." Also tiny text of maker Grammes, Allentown, Pa. Second piece is designed as a figural billboard with center text "Home Sites/Lawncoft/Tatham/Cronin Swift Land Co." On the four corners are features such as "Low Prices/Easy Terms/No Taxes/No Interest." Blank reverse.
