My mom is at an antique show and just sent me these pics. My mouth is watering, although the prices seem high.

Default Is this pin vintage or a repro?
The scratches and light staining on the front seems to say yes but the clean back is giving me pause. It measures 3.5" in diameter.

I always thought that shiny safety pin style back was first used in the early 1970s.

It’s right for that pin.

I stopped into an online auction to see if they had any sports memorabilia (they didn’t), but I got a message from someone in the auction who had these 1956 Topps pins. Some are a little less than perfect, but the price was right so I grabbed them.

I have two of Al Smith, so if someone would like to do a trade of a comparable pin, feel free to reach out.

A buddy of mine just snagged this for $16.99 BIN. The seller left a lot of money on the table.

What do you estimate it to be worth?

Just your standard, run of the mill antique show? I’m not sure you’d see an assortment that good at the National!

They did actually have a ton of nice Pinbacks there. Lots of big vintage Pin assortments at multiple booths. The show was much bigger this year, as they opened up a few halls that were previously never used.

I picked up one unusual (what I believe to be rare) Pirates Pinback, and may post it later to get some feedback form the experts here.

It looked pretty incredible. I wasn’t able to go so I’m living vicariously through the photos.

Today’s pick ups…

The Musial was a gift from my mom who found it at the large antique show in Northern Virginia today.

The USC Rose Bowl pin and the McDonalds NBA Hoops pin were super inexpensive finds from a local antique store today.

Quick pickup from the National.... I had not seen this Pirates Pinback before, and was hoping it might be somewhat scarce (I didn't pay a lot, so won't be too disappointed if it's common). I don't see any examples on ebay, which may be a good sign.

Questions for the Pin Gurus....

1. Is this a pretty rare one?
2. How old is it ... Late 40s? Early 50s?

It's an uncommon image of the Pirates Mascot, that I hadn't seen. Thanks in advance for any help with this one.

Really great looking pin - congrats on the pick up! Never seen that logo before…

For what it’s worth, I’ve never seen this particular pin before. Have seen a Pirate with a knife in his teeth, but not with the hat. Nice pickup.

Something about that Pittsburgh font just says 1930s to me.

I’m more inclined to say the 1950s.
