[QUOTE="donna723, post: 163064, member: 1883"] Those things have been around for a long, long time. I remember them too from when I was a kid. I have a small collection of souveniers from the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair (my grandparents met there), just a conglomeration of weird, interesting stuff. If you go to eBay and search on "1904 St. Louis" it brings up all kinds of things from the Fair and you'll see that they were selling these even way back then right after the turn of the century. There's some like this that were apparently custom made with the names on them and there's some that have a penny encased in the center. I hope you are able to find out who those people were. Really makes you wonder, doesn't it! I think they sold these at any kind of fair or amusement park. [/QUOTE]
