Cute Young Boy Pinback Badge. I asked on several message boards who this cute little fellow was, I thought I recognized him. several
thought he might have been an early child movie or television star. Several others thought perhaps he was used in advertising in the 1940s-1950s, several said they thought for some type of bread. I don't know .
If you know who it is, or what he was used for, please e-mail me. This badge has some age to it, but is not dated so I can't say how old it is for sure. Very good condition. 1 1/2 inches.
