In reviewing Okkonen's work on uniforms, Washington did not wear those socks until 1917, and that year, they wore a distinctive US shield on the left breast in support of the War effort. Hard to say whether your pin shows a shield in light of that pose. Also, the player on your pin seems to have a logo on his cap, which Washington did not don until 1916. By 1918 the shield was gone and the socks remained three striped, so this pin may be from well after 1915--maybe they made them over a span of years. That would put Rice as a possibility, Okkonen's work is not 100% accurate, although it is usually pretty reliable--here's the website for those who have not seen it.

I've always loved the P1s. This could be Sam Rice, but it's just a bad angle to see the face very well. As stated, the uniform is 1917 or later (Senators had the same uni 1917-1923, socks I don't know) But the real question on this one is why didn't they include the name? And are there other unnamed players in the set?

Hank,
I don't have my "book" with me but I looked this up when I was bidding on this pin and if I recall there are three or four "no name" PM1s including Bender. Of course, my preference would be for a "Barney'. |
