A very special collection of four press pins, unseen in this type of condition with extras. Highlighted by a Mint 1949 New York Yankees World Series pin. Enameling and the pin are exquisite and come with original pin back and paper Dieges & Clust backing (EX-MT). This particular treasure is unknown with these “extras”: the original “D&C” envelope from the manufacturer and the original tissue paper protecting the pin back (EX). 2. 1951 New York Giants World Series pin obtained from a former Cardinals owner. Condition-wise, this is the best we have seen. With original Dieges & Clust paper backing. EX-MT. 3. 1952 All Star Game “Phillies” pin. Another beauty in the shape of the Liberty Bell with baseball pendulum enameled white. Manufactured by William C. Martin with original pin back in Martin box. Lettering on the pin done in red, white & blue. EX+. 4. 1950 Phillies World Series pin by Martin Sterling. Pin is smiling Whiz Kid in uniform. EX.
