Boston Braves pin question

The pin in question is a circa 1950 american nut and chocolate pin. There are 16 different pins in the set. There are also 16 small pennants. I believe that each box of candy had one pin, one pennant and several pieces of candy. It is a very popular set and quite easy to complete. |

Thank you Jims! I had no idea it was from a catlogued set, I just figured it was something obscure. I checked on Old Cardboard and it showed a year of 1935, but if these were issued at the same time as the player pennants from the same company, they would be 1950. If the year on Old Cardboard is incorrect, I am guessing the price is also incorrect (25.00 each), but I have no idea. If they sell for more than 5.00 each I might try to get the whole lot of them, depending on condition and bulk price. |

Alan, if you can assemble a complete set at $5/pin you will be doing very well. Consider that each of these pins sells on ebay in the $10-$20 range...sometimes a bit more for the Brooklyn pin. I'd definitely go for it if I were you. |

For those not completely familiar w/ this issue is it is generally recognized as 1950 American Nut & Chocolate, altho some use 1949 as a date also, and some have even listed it wrongly as a 1930's issue! |

Great stuff...thanks for sharing Fred. I've always loved that Athletics Pin....it would fit nicely in my Lincoln Athletics collection simply because it doesn't say "Philadelphia" on it. |

I saw a box on ebay with the contents sale for less than $100 just in the last year. |
