The construction of that glove doesn't look half bad

I was going to ask if other teams had these Armour (hot dog) Tab Pins...I did a quick google and found this:

Good lord! If that was the SF logo, I'd be on it like a fly on you-now-what!

Anybody got any more???

Here are some good 1958-59 pinbacks. All are 3.5". Notice Willie's hat logo is that of the SF Seals. It is believed the little mitt is covering "1958" so that those buttons could be sold again the next year.

I don't really collect pins although I have a number of them I picked up at ballparks as a kid. I had been looking for these two on eBay for quite some time. I had always wanted examples of both to display with my 1971 post season press passes and ticket stubs. Just when I had about given up they both were listed within weeks of each other. I have no idea why I had such difficulty finding these. Does anyone know if they made a larger version of World series pin?

I found this 1 1/4" 'poke your eye out' style pin over the weekend:



Union imprint in the metal inside the button. I was trying to get some idea of age and value on it but can't seem to find anything. It is not the 3 1/2" version. Anyone help?

I just picked up a Giants 1982 stadium giveaway calendar. It was a year I was missing. One thing I liked was that they actually showed some decent pins in it. Usually, when the Marketing Dept. needs some "memorabilia", they just include whatever crap they can readily find.

That’s really cool - love your ‘58 pin - don’t know that I have seen that one before…..

Here is a recent pickup that will be incorporated into a framed project that is in progress.
This is a circa 1958 large PM10 pinback of HOF Warren Spahn.
Definitely a toughee and I'm thrilled to add it to the collection.

That's a great spahn PM10. Nice pickup Scott.

Great pin, Scott! Maybe with your stellar reputation and contacts, you didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it. The rare PM-10's can be very pricey.

Here's a new arrival of mine... 1920s Boston Braves pin. It's not mint but pretty nice for the price I paid.

It's a tough pin...as is the one with the little mitt. The theory is they stuck the mitt on and sold leftovers in 1959.
