That's way cool, Al! You have the two SF Giants, don't you?

yes!!;)

I have the Washington version. It's gray and, curiously, only has "Washington" in the middle, no nickname, but otherwise it's the same design as yours. You can see it in post #43 in this thread.

That makes 6 different teams with this odd style I have seen. Dodgers, Giants, Detroit, Cardinals, Indians and Washington. Would love to know the story behind these. Did the makers of the crossed-bats pins get lazy one day? Why are they so scarce? Were all teams at that time produced? Hard to believe one for the Yankees hasn't surfaced. For that matter, the Cubs, Braves, Red Sox, Reds, or Phillies.

My Washington version is the only one I've ever seen in many years of collecting and dealing in Washington memorabilia, so the rarity of these is clearly off the charts. Makes me wonder why? And why the two Brooklyn colors? I'm thinking they didn't include a nickname and use smaller print for mine, as they did with Brooklyn, because they didn't know whether to call them the Senators or Nationals, which were used interchangeably back then. I'd peg the vintage as 1930s, going by size and graphics, what's your guess? I assume Muchinsky didn't have them.

Muchinsky had a few in his book. Indians, Cardinals, Tigers, Giants and Baltimore Orioles, which I missed earlier. That puts the total to 7 seen. Would guess they are from the 40s or 50s, but could have been earlier. Would still love to see other teams if anyone has them.

An Orioles version makes the dating easier, 1954 at the earliest, assuming no minor league teams.
