Fifteen are 13/16" litho tin plus the "Extra Large" button at 1-9/16" that were promoted in the newspaper ads and on the package itself to make a full set of 16. Some designs match the 7/8" lithos issued by Post's in the USA, but at least six designs are unique to the Canadian set. The small buttons are Exc. to NM and the "Extra Large" is VF. The wax wrapper is partially affixed to what seems to be the original cardboard cereal box back. Wrapper has small edge wear and original owner pinned six buttons over their respective images, thus leaving six pin holes and a hairline 1" cut that is barely seen. The wrapper includes ad for the "Super Beanie" to use with the buttons and this has a Grape-Nuts address in Toronto. Buttons scarce as a set and box back, while just VG/Fine, is rare.
