Default REA Lot 1307 Frank Baker Pin (I think Not)

Well I usually dont like to call someone out but I feel I must and would like an explanation about this Frank Baker Pin. When going thru the REA catalogue I came upon lot 1307 the Frank Baker pin. Well in all my years of collecting I have never know that there ever was a pin made of this . Yes there is a Pocket Mirror that looks just like that pin. Fact is that this is just a "BROKEN" pocket mirror that has had a pin put to the back of it. I also believe that this Broken pocket mirror is the same Pin that is in Paul Muchinskys book but is described by Paul as X11 " A stunningly beautiful mirror of Frank Baker but is also pictured in Pauls book as having a pin coming out of the back of it. I found that very odd as this item has never been a pin. I also believe that the lot pictured in REA is Pauls BROKEN pocket mirror. I emailed Rob about my concern that this is being called a pin. Rob himself was also a big collector of pins and I cant believe he would let it be called a pin. With a $1000+ estimate I believe people should know what this really is. To Robs credit down the description he does say that this might be a broken mirror. My other question is to Paul I know you are a board member here so if this is your consignment you know full well its not a pin. If you sold it and someone else has put it up for sale then so be it, but if the consignment is yours then please explain to me how YOU think its a pin. And please dispense with the theory that well its a new find! 2 scans of what this item looks like. Front and back.
