The Geneva Cubs were a Minor League team of the Cubs from 1977 to 1993, I think that pin is much older than 1977.

The Geneva Cubs have been suggested to me as well but like you I feel that the pinback is older than 1977. That’s why I’m questioning whether or not it’s the Geneva Cubs.

I wonder if there was a specific year or date range when the “poke your eye out” pin was replaced with a safer setup.

Just a rough guess, I believe that style of pin was popular from the late 1800s to about the 1950s or so

No, “poke your eye out” lasted at least until the mid, maybe late, 1960s.

To me, I consider that to be part of the “or so” portion, lol. I’m old.

New arrival. Found this pinback button in another one of those obscure online auctions that I’m always watching.
