Item Description
Button is 5" dia. with a vacuform front and cardboard back w/safety pin. Front piece has relief image of Pirates head. Cardboard back is marked "The Original Champ-Pin" w/Pittsburgh address. Attached to the cardboard disc is a pair of 7" ribbons- one black, the other yellow w/black text "Pirates 1960 National League Champs." The plastic piece was attached at top by a staple but this is gone. It was also glued to the cardboard back but the plastic has shrunk over the years so this piece is now loose.
