This lot features an excellent original celluloid pinback and white ribbon from a 1930 convening of the Women's Christian Temperance Union or WTCU, in the city of Houston, Texas. Directly from the era when the issue of Prohibition divided the nation, this wonderful original piece has so much history and it is in very nice condition. I have included several additional images in this listing that describe the positions and history of this historic American organization. The actual pinback measures 1/2 of an inch across, while the ribbons are just under 3 inches from top to bottom.

         Please read the following, top to bottom: Successful high bidder to please pay via PayPal within three days of auctions end. Seller reserves right to decline final sale to those with no or negative feedback. Please examine listing photographs carefully, to determine any information about this item I may have not described completely, and please feel free to inquire about this item before you bid or buy. Note: Recent sales have prompted this added statement - I dont like, and will contest requests for returns and refunds from bidders who failed to read the entire listing, or who didnt take time to carefully inspect each and every photo posted. Sales are intended to be final, not test drives. I ship using USPS Priority Mail & Ground Advantage with a tracking number for buyer protection and for the automatic insurance of $100 provided with this service. I make no profit from shipping.  (Regrettably, postal rates have again recently increased for Priority Mail shipping rates, which are now as follows:

       *Small Flat Rate Box: $10.40

   *Medium Flat Rate Box: $17.05

       *Large Flat Rate Box: $22.45

         *Flat Rate Envelope: $9.90

     However, this is still arguably your best tracked and insured value). Thank you very much for visiting my ad and looking and good luck to all bidders!
