1896 Baltimore Orioles Pinback
Posted By: James Feagin
I'm not sure which forum is better suited for this. However, I want to know if this purported 1896 Baltimore Orioles pink is actually from that season, or of a later date? Thanks, |

James- I think the pin is from a later date and was made for some Orioles reunion. It might be early 20th century (not 100% sure, though). |

Someone one the memorabilia forum probably knows for certain, but I believe that Baltimore pin was made in 1906. |

Wes- I think you are right. 1906 is the year I remember too. |

The pin reads "Our Old Champions" so pretty clearly it cannot date to 1896. |

It definately is circa 1906 and issued to commemorate the 1896 team. I have only ever seen one example that had the original ribbon on it. The large ribbon pictures an eagle clutching a wreath and in the middle of the wreath is actually another button with the Baltimore coat of arms on it |

Dr. Muchinsky, the foremost expert on baseball pinbacks, lists this pin in his book on page 557: |

I've had a few examples of that pin over the years, at least once with the ribbon attached. As I recall it was orange and black, which were the team colors. |
