That's a great looking pin! Nice touch of red in the stocking too.
"The pin had "71" in the center and description said it was a season pass presented to one of the team owners." So according to the auction description this is not a championship pin but a season pass. I guess that would explain why there is a "71" on it but Boston didn't win the NA championship until 1872. That would also explain the November 13th, 1871 date on the Harry Schafer CDV. The fact that a few Boston players are seen wearing it in the 1872 Warren CDVs led me to believe it was their 1872 championship pin. Maybe the Boston players received a different pin or some other award for winning the 1872 championship? I guess it can't be assumed that the 3 remaining pins worn by Harry Wright in 1879 are championship pins, even though Boston won 6 times during the 1870s. Paul C. |
