This is a rare vintage pinback button from 1917, promoting the "16 Pages of Comics" section of the "Saturday Chicago American" newspaper. The pin features a classic cartoon character, likely a caricature of a comic strip artist or character from the era, smoking a cigar. The reverse side clearly shows the manufacturer, "GREENDUCK CO. CHICAGO," and a patent date of "FEB 13 1917," along with a union bug for Local No. 4 Lithographers of America. A fantastic piece of early comic history and Chicago Americana, perfect for collectors of vintage comic memorabilia, newspaper ephemera, or pinback buttons. This item exhibits age-appropriate wear, adding to its authentic vintage charm.
