** FAKE **

One of the great traumas in baseball history occurred on August 16, 1948, as icon George Herman Ruth succumbed to cancer at age 53. This pinback button features beautiful display quality with an image of Babe Ruth on a black background surrounded by the words "Never Forgotton" in white lettering. Simple, yet poignant, memento measures 1.5" in diameter and has a very crisp look, though rust is evident on the back. These were printed within days of The Bambino's passing, and this rare pin carries a great appearance.
