Here is a great celluloid "M" pin for "Michigan Day," from a historically important game. This was one of the years the Wolverines compiled a perfect 10–0 record and outscored opponents 567–22, and this particular game ended in a 72-0 victory. The 1904 team was the fourth of Fielding Yost's legendary "Point-a-Minute" teams, which included future College Football Hall of Fame inductee Willie Heston, who scored 20 touchdowns for 100 points that season. The pin measures 1.25" in diameter and with the matching silk ribbon is 6.25" long. Incised is "St Louis Button Co., St Louis," and the condition is EX+.
