Additional Information

This button was part of a set of 376 known buttons, issued as premiums primarily with Hassan and Tokio cigarettes. They featured cartoons by artists such as Rube Goldberg, George McManus, Bud Fisher, Hal Hoffman, and others. This button was most likely part of the "I'm the Guy" collection, which started in 1910. Using the famous catchphrase started by Rube Goldberg, these buttons were used as promotional giveaways when people purchased cigarettes.
