From the top of the Niagara Escarpment, two examples from my advertising pinback lot. These pins are the metal tab variety, cheaper to make with no pin. These two pins feature Groucho Marx and Superman given away by Brookedale Ford. Superman dates from c. 1970, not sure on the Groucho. Not a big fan of the tab style pins, but loved the cross over with the comics tiein. Pins came to me from St. Paul minnesota.
Thankyou to aghcollect, glad you continue to enjoy he posts. Much appreciated.
I love the post for the Groucho pin. I suspect very few people here know the name or watched him live on TV. His show was so bad they put him on late night. But people watched it (including me). Jack Benny and Eddie Cantor got the prime time along with Dinah Shore.
i know he had a show in the 50's but never saw it. have seen some of the Marx brothers movies, if the show was anything like the movies, i get what your saying. Hard to date this pin, i thinking the 50's or 60's latest.
