Nearly three years after filling up my first shadow box with pins, I've completed a second shadow box display. I only wish I had started about 10 years earlier when it was way easier to find — or at least buy — the tough ones.

Great displays, Chris! Pins are odd….some marginal guys are cheap and readily available. Other guys are nearly unobtainium and ridiculously expensive if they do turn up.

Very nicely displayed, Chris!
Congrats on completing shadow box #2.

I don’t pay a ton of attention to the early stuff, but that’s a cool pin. I’m assuming it’s part of a set? A set I’ve never seen?

When I first saw the photo of the front of this pin, I just assumed it was from the 1930s set of Chicago evening pins which featured 10 Chicago White Sox and 10 Chicago Cubs. However, when I saw the back of the pin, I was very confused. The originals are 1 1/4 inch in diameter. I’m wondering what this one is as it appears to have some sort of a rim around the outside. Here’s a photo of one of the originals.

I keep looking at Ed’s picture and can’t figure out what we’re looking at.

Sorry about taking so long to reply. The pin is 1.25 inch and the locking pin is different than what I'm used to seeing on that set. I thought it might have lost the original pin at some point and it was replaced with the current one.


Thank you to Al (Batsballsbases) for clearing it up:

"Rob I have seen them both with that pin clasp locking hoop and the straight pin.. like i said it just appears to look like a rim but I believe its just the reflection from the plastic coin holder making it look that way..."
