Item Description
Rare 2-3/8" tall brass stickpin by Whitehead & Hoag holds die-cut celluloid pennant as if flying in the wind. Front includes large baseball image. Reverse names famous Pittsburgh retailer "Kaufman & Baer Co./Pittsburgh's Greatest Store/Sixth Avenue/At Smithfield Street/'The Store for Men'". The 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates dominated the National League, finishing with a regular season record of 95-58 under National Baseball Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie. Leading the offense that season was a trio of future Hall of Famers: Pie Traynor (3B), Kiki Cuyler (OF) and Max Carey (OF). The Pirates were owned by long-time National League executive Barney Dreyfuss, himself a Cooperstown selectee in 2008. Pittsburgh would go on to defeat the Washington Senators in the 1925 World Series. NM. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
