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?

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..."

Yep looks about right! Thanks Ed for taking it out of the holder...
