Item Description
2-1/8". No maker but has union bug on rim curl. From a 1947 series of buttons for the Dodgers (see next two lots) and New York Yankees, all featuring the same generic image of a baseball batter. On the Dodgers buttons the image is blue and on the Yankees it is red. Center and rim text colors are also reversed for each team. The 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers were winners of the NL with a record of 94-60 under manager Burt Shotton. The offense was led by a quartet of future National Baseball Hall of Famers: rookie Jackie Robinson (1B), Pee Wee Reese (SS), Arky Vaughan (UT) and rookie Duke Snider (OF). The Dodgers would go on to lose a tough seven game World Series to the mighty New York Yankees. Trace of oxidation on metal back. Front is glossy, Exc. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
