1902 Sutthoff pin

Leon, I agree that the item is definitely RARE and may be the only one still around. If it is made of gold it is more valuable as there is value in the material used to make it. As to value (assuming NOT gold) I could be off but I would estimate the vlaue in the $1000-2000 range as it really depends on the interested parties (as there could be a bidding-war by two Indy guys and it could go for more). IMO it is way cooler than the "value" would indicate. Obviously, it doesn't look like it is going anywhere but that is my 2-cents.

Thanks Rhett....that estimate is a bit more than I would have thought but this type item is outside of my realm of expertise (if I even have a realm of expertise? )

That estimate seems high to me too, I might at least cut it in half. And it's certainly not made of gold. But it is a cool piece and possibly unique.

If that was from Wichita I'd definitely pay in the price range that Rhett quoted. That's an incredible piece of minor league memorabilia probably awarded as a prize for batting/pitching or an award for winning the championship. Very cool and thanks for sharing.
