What a bat! Nice find Sean.

At the antique show a few weeks back I found an ornate pin with a religious subject still attached to the cardboard backer..I suspect the company was around for more than a few years so it's quite possible the Ruth was made well after the other PM1 pins.

Boy Dan... that's a beautiful pin. A little steam to the ribbon is all it needs.

That's a killer medal Scott! Really cool.

Well done Mike. You talk about Brock finding all the good stuff (and he certainly gets more than his share) but you've got quite a knack yourself!

I finally landed a piece that fits my main focus. 1938 moving image of Gehrig wondering what the hell is wrong with his swing.
