I see a lot of questionable dates used to describe things — for instance, I often see Exhibit cards of 50s and 60s players identified as being from 1946. What's true is that style of Exhibit card came out in 1946.
I can go through my collection of baseball memorabilia and give you detailed information about nearly every card, autograph, cap, jersey, publication, or photograph I have. But when it comes to pins, I'm a lot a loss to say who made many of them, or where were they made, or when they were made. The Muchinsky book has great photos, but it lacks details. Pins are a real mystery to me, and that's part of why I find them so interesting. Why are so many of them so rare? Maybe we'll never know.
