Hi guys,
Thought this one might be of interest to fellow net54 members: http://thenewyorkclipper.com/a-myste...aseball-badge/ Hope I'm not offending anyone by posting a link to my blog [which I just happened to start writing a couple of days ago] I'm still learning the art of blogging so please excuse this rookie writer's shameless plug. ![]()

That's good research Jimmy. I never paid much attention to that pin but now that I look at it, it looks to be made later than the 1860's. But I'm not an expert, just saying.

Thank you guys!
That's the kind of ego boost I needed to keep on writing. I was ready to quit after 3 days with no feedback ![]() Feel free to share my 'articles' next time you feel something I write is relevant to forum readers as it felt cheap doing it myself. You have forum owner's permission [I think] ![]()

Thank you Scott.
John's a pretty knowledgeable fellow and has probably seen and read them all by now, so that was really gratifying.

Nice read Jimmy! One question and sorry if I missed it. If not Brooklyn then where was the ball club from?

Thanks Joe.
Maybe there was an amateur club in Greenwich named Excelsior at the time but I think the 'inventor' just used that name for the original design considering it was a very common/popular name for clubs (since the 1860s.) I haven't seen another one or didn't find any kind of advertisement while writing the post, so I'm thinking this was some kind of proof piece that originated from Mr. Child himself.
