Pin These Boston Pilgrims Down
 

Posted By: <b>bruce Dorskind</b><p><br /><br />In my type collection, I have a few near mint Blue Label Cigar Makers<br />pins. These colorful pins were issues in 1904 to celebrate the<br />Boston Pilgrims' World Series win over Pittsburgh.<br /><br />Does anyone know where I can locate a complete check list...<br />and can anyone tell me the last time (other than 2004 Lifson auction)<br />such a pin was auctioned?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Bruce

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Bruce, I believe Boston beat Pittsburgh in the 1903 World Series, not 1904...the Giants refusing to play them in a 1904 series.<br /><br />Would you have a picture of those pins?<br /><br />All the best,<br />Greg
