Posted By: <b>paul muchinsky</b><p>I fully agree these are homemade pins. To me, the more interesting question is when were these pins made, and how were they made? Modern pinmaking presses don't typically have 7/8" dies. The technology for a person to create such a pin didn't exist 100 years ago. That narrows the range of options. I will clearly vote for homemade, with the caveat they weren't made in anyone's home. I'd say somebody had a friend who worked at a pinmaker like Whitehead and Hoag, and these were run as a favor to the friend.

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>surfaces looks to be REALLY nice.......hard to believe something as thick as a T206 could have been used for the background too..............I'm sure you'd love to examine them, huh?<br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Wow! Great score David. I wonder if that's what the scrapbook owner did in this case.
