Fred,
When I purchased this item originally I thought it was a chip bag holder since it has a clip on the back of the item and figured it celebrated the '64 MVP for both players (which the second part I'm sure is correct). Anyway, a while back I was organizing some of my junk (collection) an ran across an item I've had forever which is a '65 Rawlings Sporting Good Fair piece w/Brooks and Ken pictured. Well, as I was looking at the photo I noticed on both of their suits/blazer/sport coat (one of those three; I don't know the difference
) I noticed this piece was clipped to both of the pockets of Brooks and Ken. On the Boyer you can see it clearly and on Brooks you can see it from a side point of view; so it's definitely that item. Sorry that the picture is not that great, but had it on my phone to show another Brooksie collector (not really about the clip). So, the piece is a Rawlings sponsored piece made likely in '65 celebrating their MVP season.
Anyway, they may have been a giveaway at this event or possibly just worn by the two players. I'd think there were more made than just for the players, but who knows.
