Thanks Greg I'm glad this is new information. It's always nice to know the history behind our collectibles.

Paul from what I could tell it wasn't from a newspaper. I stopped to look at it closer as I thought the same thing. It might have been an insert to a newspaper though. I assumed it might have been a preliminary item given to Winegarner. It's thin paper stock.

I do not own this page from the scrapbook but did obtain several that were related to Kansas. I could probably get this page for you if you are interested in owning it.

Clint,

The real value of the paper is the critical information revealed by it. I don't collect paper items, but this is a real gem from a historical perspective. I have been reading old newspapers on microfiche to learn about information that helps me solve some pinback mysteries. The fact that your paper is NOT from a newspaper makes it all the more miraculous that you have it. Newspaper inserts do not get entered into microfiche. Here is a rare case of the pins being more plentiful than the insert that explains their origin. It is likely the only surviving specimen. Thank you for the offer, nonetheless. It would make for a fabulous display if matted and framed with the corresponding set of pins.

Thanks again for sharing this amazing find.

Paul
