a collection of miniature circus or sideshow banners featuring a character known as the "Weatherbird," a long-running cartoon mascot for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper.
The character is the Post-Dispatch Weatherbird, which first appeared in the newspaper in 1901 and is one of the longest-running continuous cartoons in American journalism.
Each small banner features the Weatherbird character in a different pose, accompanied by a headline or caption related to news events or weather forecasts of the day (e.g., "IKE FIT, PUTTERS A ROUND," "HORSESHOE SKYLINE FOR ST. LOUIS?").
The items appear to be collectible or novelty items, possibly part of a set of instructions for coloring them, designed as miniature replicas of larger sideshow banners.
The text on the banners includes registration marks ("REG. U. S. PAT. OFF") and references to the Post-Dispatch.
