(New York Sunday American, 1930s) A complete set of twenty New York Sunday American comic buttons, part of a contest run by the newspaper. Readers were given a lucky number and if their number matched the one in the paper’s comic pages, they won a prize. Featured are comic stars Barney Google, Spark-Plug, Toots, the Katzenjammer Kids, and many more. Measuring 1.25” in diameter each, the buttons are in good condition with scratches, wear, creases, pinholes, oxidation on the reverse, and discoloration from age.
