"1000 LAFFS for 10 cents." This ad, from the November, 1915 Photoplay, encourages boys to send their dimes to the NUIDEA Company in Brooklyn to receive a Charlie Chaplin outfit. I understand the mustache. I wonder why it includes a gold tooth. The "Ish Ka Bibble" button is interesting. I remember Ish Kabibble, Mervyn Bogue, who performed with Kay Kyser. According to Wikipedia, "Ish Ka Bibble" is a fake Yiddish expression that is said to mean "I should worry?" I'd love to own a Disappearing Medallion Coin.
