Default reach pins

Hi Alan,
I would say the pins were put out from the early 1900s-1910. I have seen many of these pins and with different back papers so dont date them from the whitehead and hoag as alot of the early pins have that same paper coverlet on the back.
There are 4 of the reach pins that I know of 3 are in the 7/8s of and inch and are 1) american league ball 2) american association 3) Southern association. I would say that is the order they should be in from easiest to hardest. I havnt been able to get a southern association one and have looked for awhile. But there is also a 1 1/4 inch size American league ball also. Rare and harder to find. It would also stand to reason that there might be versions of the other 2 pins in that size but I havnt seen them.
As to design I havnt seen any other style other than the ones you have. Al
