Henry responded exactly as I was tempted to... but his wording was far more eloquent.

Bottom line... if you want an informed response, you'll need to post the pics!

+1 Need to see the item before any of us will give you an answer. If not your on your own and good luck! Hell take a chance you can always send it back...

Thanks!

I believe the pin was connected to the Barnstorming Tours he did. The Bustin' Babe's and Larrupin' Lou's.

That makes sense, and makes it a great piece. Wonder if there was a Lou version?

Thanks for the help everyone. The seller had listed a bunch of pins that he said came from a collection of an older individual, so was hoping that it was good. I love how clean it looks.

I collect barnstorming related items, and have mostly been limited to the 40's and 50's (Paige, Feller, Lemon, Jackie Robinson, Campanella etc). Love that era, but excited to find an earlier, Ruth barnstorming item.

edit: It looks like PSA grades pins. I'm thinking of going that route, though don't see info on how to go about it on the PSA website. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'm sure I'm just overlooking it. (Obviously don't have the pin in hand yet, but thinking about it when I get it.)

But why would you want to do that?
