Awesome collection sayhey24! Thanks for sharing. I noticed in one of the photos you had a couple of 1969 player buttons (the ones that are red and white with stars). Do you have any Minnesota Twins players from this series? If so, I would love to see them.

Sayhey24 you have some very nice items. Love looking at the cameo pepsins. Here are a few as time permits I will post more.

Al,
I love the Walter Johnson 1924 button. I've never seen that before. Very nice!!

This 1913 Univ. of Chattanooga once had a ribbon attached. I have seen this original photo which resides in the UTC library now, I think.

Posted these before... Picked them all up in one lot. Its hard to scan these and some of them certainly look better in person.

Hi Scott,
Yes a very rare pin. Actually I was the proud owner of 2 of those pins and just finished a rather big trade for one.

[batsballsbases]

Both side by side

So many cool pins -- I too love the Johnson Pennant Winners.
Boomer, there's no such thing as a bad baseball pinback, so please post away.

Scott -- Yes, I think the Bob Feller pin is 40s vintage.

Al -- Here is an original sheet of what I guess would be called printer's proofs for pins -- on there are several baseball pins including one with the same photo as your 1924 Walter Johnson, but I think made for a different version with a facsimile autograph and no pennant winners graphics.

Another pin display.

Greg,
That printers proof paper looks intresting. I have the smaller johnson pin and put them here side by side. The large johnson has no back paper and from the few that I know are out there the others dont either. My second one had no paper also. I do know of one that came with a very nice ribbon also . The smaller Johnson has a back paper and says James Spencer & Company Badges Buttons. 22 N. sixth st Philadelphia. This might help you on the printers proof paper. Does it say who was the maker of any of the pins anywhere on the paper? Nice intresting item thanks for sharing!!!

Sorry, the 1945 World Series pin is not pre-war, but still a great pin.
