Hi Rob, I saw that pin the one you are talking about,if it was this one I believe the person got screwed. I believe that someone took an easel back out of another cheaper pin (easy to do) from a later era and put it in that pin. That easel back you show isnot the correct on for that pin. Also that pin is a much later pin made I believe in the late 70s or 80s. I own this pin and here is the correct easel back that came with it... As to your question the earliest I have seen this easel back you show is around 1960... It is also the same easel back that is on the large mantle maris ruth shooting for 61 in 61 pin.. so that would at least show it was around 1961.....
