Item Description
Large 2.25" celluloid w/spring pin (we have also seen this as a pocket mirror). Curl naming maker "Keystone Badge Co. Reading, Pa." This was produced in honor of his .375 batting average with two home runs to lead the Philadelphia Athletics to a 4-2 World Series victory over the National League's New York Giants. 1911 would also mark the first of three consecutive seasons in which Frank would lead the American League in home runs during the regular season. Baker would finish with a career batting average of .307 along with 96 homers and 991 RBI's, extremely high totals for the deadball era that he starred in. The Veteran's Committee elected Baker to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. Trace of age to metal back. Front has lt. age tone on rim from about 3 to 6 o'clock. Minor surface wear only seen in reflected light. Totally bright and glossy. VF. Rare and desirable, be it button or mirror.
