I just noticed that the pin maker Whitehead and Hoag is located in Newark, New Jersey and George Mullin played his last season in 1915 for the Newark Pepper which were located in Newark, New Jersey.

Whitehead & Hoag were the biggest celluloid pin manufacturers in the US at the time. They invented the celluloid pinback.

I'm back from the land of grandchildren.
I don't know the identity of the Mullen pin, but I think it is more likely for a team than an individual. Pins for individuals are rarely dated, unless it was for a special "Day" for the player. Local baseball was very popular in that era. Mullen may be the name of a team sponsored by a company in a city league. In the town where I grew up (Stamford, CT) there were many local teams that played in that era. One day in the late 1950s I was hitch-hiking and an old guy in an old car picked me up. I was carrying my glove. The conversation turned to baseball, and he told me he once played for a team called the "West Side Separates". I just nodded, never having heard of the team. When I told my father and uncle about the team name, they were very familiar with it. They said the team was one of the better teams in town, and you really had to be good to play on that team. I have never seen a pin that says "West Side Separates" or "Separates". But without this childhood experience, if I ever did, I would never have guessed it referred to a team from my home town. I think the Mullen pin is probably from that glorious era in baseball history when even local teams had a strong following. |

Thanks for the input, I should also add that the seller of the pin states that he picked up the pin in an antique shop some years ago in Illinois.
