Thanks Al...
Those variations must be super tough... especially the large one. Never even seen one of those offered for sale! I really love the "name at top" version as well. Now I'm on the lookout for one of those.  Much appreciated! Mark

Attended the famous Fishersville, Va. antique show today for the first time. Pinbacks and sports stuff in general was hard to find. I did find one pinback dealer who had a few nice 1960’s buttons that I liked; Cranes, some NFL pins and a few Kelloggs jet planes that I wanted. Problem was, his prices were outrageous and he had a terrible attitude. He wouldn’t let anyone open any of the cases to pull out any button. I wanted to put a group together to see about getting a good price. He refused so I had to try to keep showing him button after button in trays and having him think about it to give me a price. His general customer service was atrocious and I was probably ready to spend $75 or $100 with him, but I simply walked away because of his nastiness.
I wandered around the antique sale a bit longer, and didn’t think I was going to find anything. I then spotted a vendor with a couple of display cases so I approached and saw that he had a number of different pinback buttons. He ended up having four baseball buttons. Two of them were from the American Nut and Chocolate series, a Brooklyn Dodgers and a Boston Braves button. Unfortunately, he had them both priced at $35 apiece. I asked him what his best price on those was and he said he could do both for $50 which was still too much. The Dodgers one was even scratched up some. He said he thought they might be rare and I explained to him that they are actually pretty common, and can generally be had for about 10 bucks or so apiece. Needless to say I didn’t buy those. Then I spotted these two gems. He had them priced at a very reasonable amount and thus they came home with me. Last edited by Vintagedeputy; 10-13-2023 at 06:40 PM.

Over the past six months, I had a temporary move and now a more permanent one. During that time, all of my pinback finds from antique stores and random online auctions were ending up in various boxes, bags, etc.
While not arranged properly yet for display, I think this is most of them finally all in one place…although I know there’s still more somewhere.
