Congrats Rob, pin looks great! What year are those? Looks like 69-71 time frame.

Rob -- Glad you were able to find it an add it to your collection. It's always fun looking at the photos you post of your pinbacks.

Thanks, Clint. These pins are possibly as early as 1967 and probably were made as late as 1972. I'm not sure anyone knows the exact dates of production. Paul Muchinsky and I kicked around some theories but never came up with anything definite. They are marked as made in Winona, MN (Wincraft) but are not dated.

Thought they might have a specific year. That MLB logo wasn't designed until 1968. I know they used it on uniforms in 1969. Were there other teams in this series? The Players association logo was designed in 1968 as well.

Not all have the MLB and MLBPA logos. Besides the ones pictured here and the Henderson, I also have a McCovey w/o logos. To the best of my knowledge, I now have ALL the Giants pins in this series (I hope!). I don't know of other teams with pins of this same design. Other teams (Twins and d**gers come to mind) had large team buttons like the Killebrews shown.

Ahh, got you Rob. That does make a difference.
