I see no way how the pins/discs would fit in slide and shell boxes. There is no room whatsoever. So, it could be possible that pins/discs came packaged in a different configuration (such as a tin), but 1910-era tins did not have extra room for such a premium, either. The discs/pins may also have been attached to something that was attached to the package, but again, I have never seen remnants of a bands or a bag that had a pin or disc inside. My best guess would be they were given away at point-of-sale.
