Help With Old Detriot Tigers Pin
I'm hoping someone might know a bit about this Detroit Tigers pin I have. The pin measures about 2 inches by 2 inches. It's all metal and the little gold metal baseball says Tigers on it, too.
I was told it was 1920 but I'm not sure. Any ideas as t age, rarity, value, etc? http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...d/DSC_0003.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...d/DSC_0004.jpg |
My first impression when looking at it was 1930's or earlier.
Pretty neat pin, no matter what. Nice pickup if you own it! |
This style pin was sold in the 1930's. I have the version you posted and also a version with the year 1934 (black background with orange numbers) on the flag and same Tigers ball charm attached. Sometimes your version can be found with a Tiger Head charm attached. The Tiger head charm is more rare, asthetically pleasing and commands more money. Value on these $50-75$ retail. Also, these pins seem to have been sold with an original hanging tassle attached. Finding these with the tassles attached is almost impossible. Hope this helps.
