This button produced by Hassan cigarettes, a very popular brand at the beginning of the 1900's. These were produced around 1910, and came free with the cigarettes. The buttons are lithographed images with a celluloid cover. Most have the paper insert from the particular brands of cigarette inside the pin's back. These buttons feature the art of the popular newspapers cartoonists at the dawning of the America's comics page. The button's artist's are the icons who's innovations lead the way to the comics we know today. This lot features the artwork of TAD.
Thomas Aloysius Dorgan (April 29, 1877 – May 2, 1929), also known as Tad Dorgan, was an American cartoonist who signed his drawings as Tad. He is known for his cartoon panel Indoor Sports and the many words and expressions he added to the language. His slangy breeziness won immediate circulation. It was he who first said 'Twenty-three, Skidoo,' and 'Yes, we have no bananas,' 'apple sauce' and 'solid ivory.' Other expressions that are now part of the American vernacular include 'cake-eater,' 'drug-store cowboy,' 'storm and strife,' 'Dumb Dora,' 'dumb-bell,' 'finale hopper,' 'Benny' for hat and 'dogs' for shoes.
These are for collectors of Vintage Tobacciana and Cartoon ephemera and anyone who likes vintage cool that's well made. I will carefully package these pins so they arrive in the condition shown.
