I'm pretty sure it was Lelands.
I see their archive starts in 2000, so maybe it was before that year. I'll try to check my pre-2000 catalogs and see if I can find it. Btw, the pin is also pictured in the SABR 19th century pictorial issue.

Got it.
Lelands June 14-15, 1997 Lot #642 The pin had "71" in the center and description said it was a season pass presented to one of the team owners. Beautiful item... According to the SABR pictorial, it was a Boston "Rooters" pin. Maybe the design of the pin was used for different years/occasions. Hope this helps.

Thanks for finding that information.
I'll have to get a copy of the SABR pictorial or that auction catalog and view it. I assume the "71" is for 1871. I agree that the sock-shaped pin Wright is wearing appears to be the one in the 1872 Warren cdv. It would still be neat to see the other 5 Boston championship pins from the 1870s. If anyone has seen them pictured anywhere please let me know. Thanks. Paul C. Pr0726@aol.com

What page? I believe you are referring to the spring 1984 SABR's The National Pastime - Special Pictorial Issue - The Ninteenth Century. I can't find the pin.

This picture shows Harry Schafer wearing that same "stocking" pin that Harry Wright is wearing in 1879. The date below the photo appears to be November 13th, 1871. I thought 1872 was the first year Boston won the NA championship, so now I'm confused.
Would someone mind posting the 1871 Boston pin from the Lelands June 14-15, 1997 auction, Lot #642?

Mark- the pin is pictured on the inside front cover of the 1984 SABR pictorial issue (my copy is so tattered not a single page is attached to the binding. It's more like a folder now).

I guess I looked at every page except for the inside front cover. The condition of my issue is exactly the same as Barry's - perfect for scanning!

That's a great looking pin! Nice touch of red in the stocking too.
"The pin had "71" in the center and description said it was a season pass presented to one of the team owners." So according to the auction description this is not a championship pin but a season pass. I guess that would explain why there is a "71" on it but Boston didn't win the NA championship until 1872. That would also explain the November 13th, 1871 date on the Harry Schafer CDV. The fact that a few Boston players are seen wearing it in the 1872 Warren CDVs led me to believe it was their 1872 championship pin. Maybe the Boston players received a different pin or some other award for winning the 1872 championship? I guess it can't be assumed that the 3 remaining pins worn by Harry Wright in 1879 are championship pins, even though Boston won 6 times during the 1870s. Paul C.
