capped cents from 1934? (exonumia question)

engraved

Does anyone know anything about the capped cents put out in 1934 by Tatum Stamp and Coin Company. These are Lincoln cents with a "cap" attached to the reverse with a different scene.

A guide book of United States Tokens and Medals mentions that there where 8 different subjects that were made.

The only mention I can find of them on the web is an old stacks auction that had three:
Admiral Bird
Hauptmann Trial
Morro Castle Disaster

Does anyone know anything about these, or even have some?

I vaguely recall one with a Santa Claus image, but I'm not sure.

I had a nice set a few years ago with an original 2x2 holder inside a larger Capitol-style holder.

In addition to the three listed, I've also seen a Lord's Prayer version. I can't think of 4 other subjects offhand.

Thanks guys for the info. It's hard to find info on these.

I found some pictures in my archives. FWIW, I don't have these any more. I sold them in 2006.

By the way, it was Tatham, not Tatum. Might help your search.

Thanks Jonathan for the pictures. That's neat, I didn't know that they came with different plating.

Thanks CaptHenway. I'll try that in my searches. I guess they have a misprint in the book.
