Item Description
Each is a 1" w/five being pin-backs and one a lapel stud. This set was listed in 1986 by Hake/Steckler in Non-Paper Sports Collectibles. The five known then and also offered here are: Pitcher, Catcher, First Base, Second Base, and Left Field. All have tin back with c. 1904 imprint of the maker and a vertical pin. The only one Muchinsky could add in the many following years  is "Third Base" and while it has a tin back there is no name and it is not a pin but was once a stud, although now missing the part that went through a button hole. Tiny age on this cello w/the other five Exc. All are rare. Nice, early baseball pin-backs. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
