Two examples from myy pinback collection c.1898.
Pinback commemorating the sinking of the battleship Maine and the cruiser brooklyn from the 35 pin set featuring the fleet that fought in the spanish american war. They have some foxing and discolouration but glad to have items this old no matter what.
Enjoy
Great Span Am war memorabilia-- the war receives much less collector interest than it deserves.
The war has many parallels to our modern conflicts: quick, powerful and overwhelming attacks that then lead to years of struggle with irregular forces and local populace.

These are nice ones, The color ones are getting harder to find at a reasonable price.
