No franchise in the history of baseball has been in more World Series (41) or won more Word Series (27) than the storied New York Yankees. So, what could be more fitting than to add a collection of the Bronx Bombers' World Series press pins to pump up the power of any sports collection?

Offered is a collection of five (5) New York Yankee press pins: 1) 1947 World Series, won by New York in seven games over their interborough rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers. The pin has the image of a baseball, with the classic red, white, and blue Yankee "top hat" and bat. The item reads, "1947 Yankees World Series." The round "baseball" part of the pin has a diameter of an inch. The pin has a width of 2". A threaded clasp is on back to hold the pin in place. The "wings" of the pin have a very slight bend. 2) 1952 World Series, won by the Yankees in seven games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The pin has the image of the red, white, and blue Yankee top hat. The pin reads, "Yankees PRESS 1952 World Series." A threaded clasp on back holds the pin in place. 3) 1953 World Series, won in six games by the Yankees over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The pin is mostly blue and in the shape of a "V" for victory. The pin has the image of the Yankee top hat, and it reads, "World Series Yankees 1953 Press." On back is a threaded clasp. At its widest and tallest, the pin measures 1.25x1.25". 4) 1955 World Series, won in seven games by the Brooklyn Dodgers. this 1955 World Series was the only World Championship in the history of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The pin measures 0.85x0.8". It shows the Yankee top hat logo and reads, "1955 World Series Yankees PRESS." The threaded clasp is on back. 5) 1960 World Series, won in seven games when the Yankees were defeated by the famous Bill Mazeroski walk-off home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The pin reads, "1960 NY World Series PRESS." The pin is basically in the shape of a baseball, with a diameter of an inch, except where the "crown" image on top goes slightly higher. A threaded clasp is on back.

The press pins are in EXCELLENT condition, and the pins have great eye-appeal. The offering brings back the vintage days of autumn in New York, which meant falling leaves, crisp days, and so-often not only a World Series, but as often as not, "Subway Series" as well.
