1935 BABE RUTH Quaker Oats Premium pencil clip Reproductions?
 

Are there reproductions of these pencil clips?

dunno? looks kinda good to me?

You can't see it in this picture, but it says "Parisian Nolvelty Co Chicago" along the bottom edge of the button. (Or whatever you call that)

I don’t collect or own any of those pencil clips, but I could swear I heard somewhere that they are heavily reproduced. I could well be wrong but that’s my recollection.

Here's a picture taken off an eBay listing that shows the inscription.

Hi

I am no expert on it.

It looks like it is in great shape for its age.

I tried searching the web to see if they are sold in bulk or reproduced or anything and cannot find anything on it.

I think it is a interesting piece and hopefully someone can let you know for sure either way

Good Luck with it

It sort of looks legit.

Thanks for the help Net54 friends. If anyone knows anything more, I would appreciate it.

There are a ton of similar clips on ebay. I must be wrong but I could swear I remember someone saying they are heavily faked...

Maybe there are fakes. But how do you tell which ones are real or fake?

I have the answer to my own question. I not only have a Babe ruth pencil clip, but a Satchel Paige one as well.

The Satchel Paige one has letters that are blobs under magnication. The Ruth one has clear letters. The Ruth is obviously real. The Paige is a reproduction. :)

Bad News I was moving some items and found this. I dont believe Quaker issued a pencil topper with the Babe Ruth fan club kit. The image is from a Quaker oats piece that came in the mail with the photo book etc. Not sure if it was a pin but definitely not a pencil topper. The Paige is part of a series and has been faked heavily as well. I do know that this one and all like it are "Fantasy pices". Fantasy Magical not sure what best describes these. But I do know that many folks watched there hard earned dollars disappear after buying one. I got this one and 11 others for $1.50 in the mid 80's.

This ^^^^ is what I seem to remember.
