Ted Williams Pin/Ribbon ID
 

Hi everyone,

Can any pin experts help me ID the age of this Ted Williams Pin/Ribbon? Also, what is the significance of the yellow back vs a bare metal back?

Thanks!

Hi John Funny I just wrote about this pin on one of the other sites. Its been faked here is a pic to see the difference the fake on the right has a larger name band that extends higher above the shoulder and is fatter. Yours by the way is a real one. As for age early to mid 50s or lets just say 50s. As for backs I have seen them in black yellow and tin, union stamped or not. That part really doesnt add much to the value of the pin. This williams is very common and can usually be had in the 35 to 55 dollar range. up to 75 max. a nice pin of williams .. hope that helps Enjoy...

Thank you! I may have overpaid a smidge, but I will chalk it up to holiday spirit.

Happy Holidays!

Ha happens to the best of us... But if you enjoy it thats what counts!:):)

Hey, it's a lot better to overpay by a bit than to pay for the re-make. Nice Pin!
