Early Ty Cobb Pin Identification Help Needed!
I recently picked up a pair of Ty Cobb pins at an auction - and bought them on a whim as I couldn't find ANYTHING about them online.
They look identical to the Sweet Caporal pins from 1910-1012, but these are bronze and have an embossed image of Cobb. Hoping this community can help me figure out what they are/where they came from! Year? Maker? Is it from a set? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Seen one before somewhere. Way cool pickups. I'm a little wary, but they sure do look old and I'd guess they are.

Yeah I just had a friend send me a link to one that Heritage auctioned off in 2019 and they said they "believed" it was made after his playing days, but they didn't display any confidence in that. They had it marketed as a 1950's pin.
Even if it's not from his playing days, it's still really neat in my mind. I plan on displaying at least one of them alongside my T206 Cobb red portrait.

They remind me a bit of this 1960 press pin in terms of design and material, though the backs are very different:

Maybe created around the first HOF induction in 1936?

It would appear that the earliest that Orange was introduced to the Tigers uniforms was 1927.
http://wearefanatics.com/evolution-d...tigers-jersey/ So definitely not earlier than 1927 but I would agree with others that it looks more like a 40's-50's or so era pin. Last edited by phlflyer1; 01-21-2022 at 01:42 PM.
