Lot 393: 1927 New York Yankees World Series Press Pin
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
UPDATE: Just to clarify, This is the threaded post back and not the broach back.
This 1.25" gold press pin by Dieges & Clust is quite a treasure from the
World Champion 1927 New York Yankees. Need any more be said? Rare pin variation in Near Mint condition commemorates "Murderer's
Row"; the most heralded lineup in Major League baseball history. In
the shape of a badge with ivy design on either side border, the
brooch is adorned with three banners, enameled red, white & blue with
gold lettering that says: “Press, World Series, American League.” Below is
the year, “1927” in raised gold numbers. At center is the popular
crossed bats with baseball raised design. The pin back and "wheel"
clasp are still intact and flawless. Dieges and Clust stamp on the back.
