I did cut the white foam inserts in half to lower the pinback in the container so that the face of it would not scratch against top of the plastic.

Thanks!

It’s been a while since I added a pinback to my collection. I’m pretty happy with this one from 1966 the lenticular evil eye is fun.

Yes it’s a Pirates pinback the Green Weenie Whammy was a thing announcer Bob Prince created to place a hex/curse on opposing players. It was a pickle shaped rattle. This pin is related to that. This one is currently on eBay.

If the Green Weenie were hung upside down, it might be accused of being a tragic green "bent carrot" like the commercial on TV :eek::D
