I appreciate all the feedback I've received so far — pinbacks are certainly a fascinating world to explore.
I recently picked up pins of Whit Wyatt and Dolph Camilli that look just like those posted above on then left, and were seemingly produced by the same company. I've also seen examples of Pete Reiser and Dixie Walker in the same design. Because of Reiser's inclusion, I'm guessing these came out in 1941. Perhaps the Yankees and Giants buttons were produced over a series of years that continued through at least 1941.
Has anybody seen any other c. 1940 Dodgers in the same style? I've also seen several "1941" Dodgers pins (P. Waner and Camilli), which I'm guessing were done in the 1970s or 1980s because they use the same images from TCMA cards of that era.
