Hello,
I am trying to ascertain whether or not this old pin is authentic, and if so, if it started it's life as a football pin or as a baseball pin to which someone has attached a ribbon and old metal football. I found the pin in a box of old junk, and no one tried to push it off on me as authentic or otherwise. Thanks so much if you are able to help me! |

The Brooklyn Dodgers were a national football team in the 30s or 40s. Then I think they were the Brooklyn tigers. So it was a football pin

FWIW - there are quite a few NY Giants pinbacks that you find offered as either baseball or football. You will see the same pin with a football or baseball "dangle." I think the same pins were sold for both teams. Most of the "overlap" pins are shown in the left column of this display case.
