Default Seeking Info. on Very rare Wagner pin
Posted By: Al Simeone

Aaron,
According to the book Smithsonian Baseball There is a picture of the Pocket schedule put out by the Pittsburg Leader from 1904. The pin as is stated in the book "In 1904 after leading the national league in batting for the third time. Honus Wagner probably could have sold anything including Insurance as he proved by appearing on a pinback for the Commercial Oldest Accident Company. Pin is 1" in diameter. So it probably dates to 1904.
