Has anyone seen one of these before or know the history?

I have been collecting Aaron memorabilia for over 30 years and I have never seen these charms. I bid on these but then got busy with work and travel and was unavailable to bid live. Why Hunt still does live auctions is perplexing to me.

Since these came from the Feeney estate, my guess is this: these were commissioned by someone (MLB, Feeney, Braves) and given out to baseball insiders to commemorate 714 and 715. I don't think they were ever sold to the public, or else we would see many more for sale. Wish I had won them.

Thanks David. I bid on them without thinking too hard about it, so I missed that they came from the Feeney estate - that makes me feel better about them, as they are a bit odd.
