Jake Daubert Louisville Slugger Pin

[Steve L]

I bought it within the last 10 years on Ebay.
If it is fake, I didn't pay very much for it.
It is 1 3/4 by 2 3/4.
This is the only pin I own.
I collect Daubert items.

Oh, and I don't recall who I bought it from.

Steve,
Very hard to tell if this is a "pinzplus" repro do you remember if you bought it from that seller? that would explain alot but for the record My 29 cubs pin measures also 1 3/4 by 2 3/4 in size and I know is vintage. (real deal) Pinzplus tends to change the sizes to either larger or smaller than the original. But in this case I dont know what he was going by as like I said I have never come across this style pin. Without another example I.E. another player from this Louisville slugger set and I use set loosely will be hard to determine vintage or repro. It would be my educated guess its a repro based on never ever seeing this style but hay you never know about pins.... new ones come up all the time I can tell you that from experience......

I'd guess "fantasy" pin and even more so if the image is exactly the same as the Daubert decal bat.

[Huysmans]

Daubert decal bats are especially rare.
I've only seen 2 examples, including the bat REA auctioned years back.
Both bats were from the 1916-31 labeling period, and they could be narrowed down to the early 1920s due to the "Made in USA" designation within the center brand that replaced the dash-dot-dash configuration in 1921.

Hank makes a good point that considering they use the same design as the decal bat, the pin could possibly be a fantasy piece.
As for a repro.... my only objection in that assumption would be.... how come no one has seen any others?

[Bugsy]

Couldn’t a black light be used to see if it is a modern fantasy piece? If that were the case, I would think the pin would light up.

I've had these in the past and they are repro/fantasy
