Vote for the Park Pinback

[daveobrien]

Not even sure it's baseball related. Wondering if anyone has seen this one before. I found it in a collection of pins dating fron 1896 till 1921. Most were for fairs or political and from the RI, Mass, CT area. it would be great if it was for Fenway. Thanks in Advance for any help dave

Searching the web I found a thread on baseball fever asking bout the same pin I believe. They say it was from the park (Fenway) I hope this helps. I am sure some of the pin collectors out there will give a definite answer

The pin was made in Baltimore, so I would bet it has something to do with either the Federal League club or the minor league Orioles wanting a new park. I'm pretty sure Fenway was not voted on, but was built by the owner (John Taylor) on land he already owned.
