Looking for an approximate date of issue for these two pins, both are cloth covered.

Can you show a larger/clearer view of the back papers (inside the back of the buttons)?

I have seen cloth-covered dated political pins from the early 1950s. I would estimate the date of your pins to be in the late 1930s to early 1950s.

Hake's "Collectible Pin-Back Buttons" gives a date range of 1928-1949 for that St. Louis Button Co. back. FWIW, it also lists a Geo. Lauterer back with 1906-1985 range, but with a different street address.
Dr. Muchinsky (springpin) could probably tighten up both of those dates considerably and will hopefully chime in.
Edit: And it looks like he did as I was looking things up and typing :)
