Default Information on 1910 Schmelzer's Sporting Goods pins
Posted By: Daniel Bretta

These pins are featured in Steven Wong's Smithsonian Baseball book as part of Rob Lifson's collection....according to the book they are from a sporting goods company in Kansas City and are up there with the rarest of all pinbacks. It is assumed that there are at least nine different because they are all marked with a position (first base, pitcher, et cetera)although only 4 different are known (Charlie Deal, Joe Jackson, Mathewson and Butch Schmidt). I don't believe they have an ACC designation.
