These were 'poster like' pictures you would cut out a coupon from the comics and mail away for. Back is blank. This one and one with Porky in a sailors uniform are the most coveted ithink. Don't have the Porky one, but I have others including one (or two?) I got from @Robot Man 

Very cool-thanks! Now I need to find both!

Some cool stuff starting to emerge here. Thought I would "elaborate" on what has popped up.

For @143ksk Maybe slightly cheating here date wise but a couple more interesting Archie pieces

[Robot Man]

Also, a nice grouping of MLJ premiums. The Shield pins are arranged from oldest to newest. The first Archie Club pin and the Exceedingly scarce Rang-A-Tang the Wonder Dog club pin from the earliest issues of Blue Ribbon Comics. 

[Robot Man]

Also, exceedingly rare is the MLJ paper projector. I know of one or maybe two other examples. Cool piece as it features most of the characters in the early comics.

For Ray, the @BitterOldMan, some more Street and Smith Pulp Premiums. The Blue Coal ring is especially cool and still glows well. The Doc Savage stamp is very tough...

[Robot Man]

For @IngelsFan, in addition to the 3 pinbacks, here is a membership certificate. If you look at the buttons carefully, you will see the title change from New Adventure to Adventure. In addition is what I believe the first comic book premium. The More Fun Club pinback. Discovered this probably 30 years ago at a flea market. Was part of a group of old non-comic book club buttons a lady was selling. Couldn't grab my wallet fast enough...

Also included is a slightly out of register Flash Comics button. A prize for entering a contest in an early issue of All Flash. As well as a similar Wonder Woman GA pin and a 1940's Valentine. 

And a kid's fake cardboard watch made in Japan. The only GA items I know of for Flash and WW.

Appreciate the Looney Tunes nod good sir!

This MLJ projector piece is INSANE (as is your collection in general of course!)

Thanks for posting!

The Junior Federal Men certificate is my white whale! I have two sets of the pins but the cert is tough.

Pretty sure the Chicago Roller Skate stuff is late '50s to '60s.

Here's a jumbo Archie Chicago Roller Skates display poster.

I do love me some puzzles

Captain Action Batman outfit still on the card.  My understanding when I bought this is it was old stock that was used as carnival prizes.
