Does anyone know what year this pin is from? Is it catalogued? The image is from the 50s but I don't think it's that old.

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Looks like one of the modern reprints/repros. I don't see the Union stamp that often is on the back of these pins, plus it looks too "shiney"

I dont have my SCD big book right now, but Its listed under 1950-60's PM10 and look for the one thats described as "white background, batting waist up, with name from elbow to armpit"
Its one of about 6-8 Mantle pins listed in that set/group.

There was one on eBay too, just saw it Sunday.
