Red Background Celluloid Cigarette PinsThese cigarette pins were distributed free as premiums with packs of cigarettes in the early 20th century. They had humorous phrases printed on them. The ones in this series are celluloid pinback buttons that have a red background with white lettering. A few have cartoon line-art in white. All are 7/8th of an inch in diameter. The pins we have available are listed below.
