Default How old is this pinback?
Posted By: Len

I have several and believe they are from the forty's. Prior to the end of the '30's,the Reds logo featured the word "REDS" within the larger "C".Around 1939,the logo changed to show the word "REDS" coming out of the "C".My understanding is that in the early 1950's,"REDS" changed to "Red Legs" because of the Sen.McCarthy hearings looking for Reds(commies).Hope this helps.
