Rather overpay for something 70-80 years old that does not pop up often.

Does anyone have a specific year of issue for the Redleg Booster pin shown here?

Hi Mike I would have bet that also but in doing a little research it may be possible that those redleg booster pins may have been put out in 1953 as the then Reds didnt want any association to communism so they made a change to the redlegs..... The pins themselves look older than 50s but could they have been the redlegs before that ? Possible but for now I will correct myself and say mid 50s... And Chris +Scott I will lean with both of you!

Why do so many seller’s pages reference 1946?

Well, just to add a little more doubt to the actual date of this pinback, it should be noted that the Reds were called the Redlegs by the press at least as early as 1938. I happened to be flipping through Louis Stewart's (Johnny Vander Meer's girlfriend and future wife) scrapbook of Vandy's career through the 1937-1944 era with the Reds. I noted several references to the Reds being called the Redlegs.

Oh well...

I would have guessed mid-50s. Were the Reds called the Redlegs in the 30s?

FWIW, I would agree with Chris. 1950's would be my guess as well...
Font, and term "Redleg's" both smack of a later issue.

I've seen several references on the internet to the 1930's and 1950's, and at least one specific reference to 1946.

I guess I may not have anything more than just a date range.

Default White Sox pins
Guys............I picked up these 3 White Sox pins a couple months ago at an estate sale. They seem to be 1950's to early 60's era? I've seen a few of the smaller blue pins, but I can't seem to find any examples online of the larger 2 1/4" diameter white pin. Any info would be great and thanks in advance......Matt

As you may know, those little baseball looking things are actually “SS”, the logo for Sports Specialties. The were a concessionaire and their mark can be found on many pennants. Of my 800+ Giants pins, only one has the SS mark.
