Update on Mutt and Jeff pins

I should probably be using my term, "Fisher pins," in the title, because the cartoons drawn by Bud Fisher are the only ones I am collecting from the Mutt and Jeff series of cartoon pins.  I have made considerable progress since I wrote about them in July.

As I continue to find 7/8-inch multicolor pins, I have learned of at least 28 designs in the Fisher series. I now have 25 in multi-color and 1 in black and white. Here are pictures of the 3 that I still need to find:

 

I also found and obtained two Fisher designs for one of the phrases; the first, and more common one depicts both Mutt and Jeff; the second, only Mutt. 

 



 

Finally, in addition to the 11 designs I already have in the 1-1/4 inch size, I learned that I need to find at least two more designs in the larger size:

 

While most of these pins are relatively inexpensive, the "OH YOU CUBS!" pins seem to be selling for around $85.00.  The higher price is probably because they fit in 3 areas of collecting:  cartoon phrases, tobacco premiums, and baseball memorabilia.

 

I still do not know how many illustrations Bud Fisher made for the cigarette pins, nor how many of them were produced in the 1-1/4 inch size.
