I'm The Guy...

These humorous pins were a series of pinback buttons given away with packs of cigarettes in the 1910s through the 1930s.

The phrase "I'm the Guy" comes from Rube Goldberg. Size: 7/8"

These pins, given away by cigarette companies with packs of cigarettes, had phrases in white lettering with blue, red, or green solid backgrounds. The phrases started with Rube Goldberg's famous phrase "I'm the Guy..."

No one knows how many pins were produced for the I'm the Guy series. Collectors have documented hundreds of different phrases. In our small collection, we had nearly 200.
