So the pin is an anachronism in terms of advertised date.

Now, as to the design, the 3" safety pin format was not used during Brown's career.
Thanks Adam I knew I had seen the photo before now we know where the pin picture came from.. I have a feeling that pic was used on other items...

Nice sleuthing Adam! Small chance still that it could still be "vintage", but definitely not as early as stated.

Thanks for posting that pic!

Default Check VFC
Mark:

I am sure Adam has this nailed but if you want more info you should post it on VFC. Vintage Football Community site.

There are very knowledgeable collectors there. One specific Browns/Jim Brown collector there who may be able to help.

You have to join to post.

If you want to join tell Jeff you know me.
