Default Does Anyone Know Anything About These Pins?

Posted By: Peck

I believe your pins are from three different sets.

PM-3 Positions . . PM-4 Positions . . PR-5 Baseball Leaders

PM-3 Positions consist of 12 pins in a set. Nine position players,
Batsman, Captain, and Umpire. Two sets: 1 1/4" and 7/8". Gold
backgrounds.

PM-4 Positions consits of 12 pins in a set. Same as PM-3. Two sets:
Red Sox and Blue Sox with white backgrounds. 1 1/4"

PR-5 Baseball leaders consist of 16 pins I believe. Big League Leader
- 5 pins . . American League Leader - 4 pins . . National League
Leader - 7 pins. Red, White, and Blue. 13/16"

The Babe Ruth pin is in the Big League Leader group. "Most Home Runs
Per Season, Babe Ruth, N.Y. A.L. 60 in 1927. Seven leader pins are for
years 1931 and 1932. No pins with later dates. Good guess for issue
year for leader pins is 1933.
