Text on back reads FUMS UP such a quaint little figure of a cute baby Mercury, the emblem of luck on his forehead and a touch of ancient Rome in the upturned thumb, handed down from the Gladiator Days through a United allied Italy to the Londoner of today, in the popular phrase THUMBS UP! This lucky Symbol, expressive of the confidence deep rooted in the hearts of Britain and her Allies that right will triumph over Might and that our just cause will emerge crowned by a glorious Victory leading to a lasting Peace, is brought home to you by A MASCOT.- Resource:
