P2 Backings

Posted By: Tim Rhinehart

I have a question about the paper insert and the relative difficulty associated with each backing. The majority of mine have a white background while a few are red or blue. I also have one or two with white backgrounds and red printing.

There also seem to be two manufacturers, Whitehead & Hoag or Ehrman Co. Were the majority of these pins produced in the New England area? I know the Ehrman co headquarters were in Boston and a manufacturing plant was located in Milford, New Hampshire. It seems as though the backs have little or no bearing on the prices of the pins.

Tim,
Krause states that red are twice as tough as black. I'll do an inventory of my 125+ pins for ya.
