Today’s antique store rescues, complete with vintage rust!


I was reading on a pinback webpage (https://baseballpinbackbuttons.wordp...r-derivatives/) the following quote “In 1962 when the Minnesota Twins joined the Major Leagues, the Midwest Badge and Novelty Company of Minneapolis issued a set of 1.75” pins for all the MLB teams. The pin for the Twins featured the image of two ballplayers shaking hands, symbolic of the Twin Cities. A crossed bats pin was made for every other team”

Is the Twins pinback pictured here the one described in the quote or am I missing something? I would think this one is smaller than the quote described.
