Vintage 1932 color pinback features the words "Play Ball with Babe Ruth" above the image of the Great Bambino, with yellow background and red border. Measuring 1.25" in diameter, the enamel appears unchipped but somewhat faded, in VG-EX condition. A small tear in the paper backing exposes some rust to the back of the button. This very rare collectible was used as a promotional item for a series of Universal Pictures shorts featuring Ruth, showing the finer points of baseball along with a storyline. Unusual Ruth piece, hard to find.
