I used to have a lot more of these, down to my favorites now. What WaJos have you got?

Over 20 years ago in the early days of eBay, I found a glass
plate negative containing 42 WaJo images presumably used to
make pins. Difficult to photograph but this will give you the idea.

What a unique piece! Have you ever seen the actual pin?

Sweet little collection. I've never had the PM10 or the one on the left, but I had a P1 ornate, a Mrs. Sherlocks, and one or two other old ones. Our two 1924 Pennant Winners are probably the two best I've seen, but don't have the ribbons that came with at least some of them when they were originally sold. I've only seen about six or seven in various conditions over the years, extremely tough pin.

The pin in the upper left of Al’s post appears to be the photo from
my negative.

How cool is that? First time you've seen the pin?

Tom yes that is the pin. The one I have is in beautiful shape. Has a great back paper Hard to see but is James Spencer& Co.Philadelphia. About 1 1/4 inch in size. Very hard to find. Here are some better pics.
Hank yes I have seen that 24 pin with the red white and blue ribbons. Usually very shreaded. Funny I also have a great Photo of that pin being given out at the start of the series. Note the large baseball attached , hard to see but that is the pin...

I saw one at auction a few years ago but it sold for more than I
could afford st the time.

I have seen that picture, and always found it curious that one of those has never surfaced in that configuration to my knowledge. Wonder what the baseball's were made out of? And that ribbon doesn't look long enough to be the ones with the printing on it that have been auctioned once or twice, the shredded ones I think you were referring to. They might have also been sold without any attachment at all. As I said, I've only seen six or seven or them in any configuration.
