For your review, one of my favourite pinback lots by theme.
Popeye premiums and club pinbacks from c.1930 - 1970. Sizes run from 1/2"-2" sizes with the 7/8" size being personal favourites. This lot includes pinbacks from newspaper contest winning number sets, club membership, retail and food companies. The Igloo pin is from a Holland Frozen Food company c.1960's and the white Club member pin ( with foxing) is an Australian issue c.1935. My favourite is the 7/8" pin with a bust of popeye and the "Popeye" logo. No issue date but was produced by Greenduck.
Sadly, the SS Popeye tv pin is a re-pop, buyer beware i guess. The original c. 1960,came up sometime later on ebay but i missed out on purchase. Still looks cool in the lot. Everyone of these acquired through ebay, these just do not show up locally. Enjoy
