I would like to get these 2 pins slabbed and just wanted to make sure that I called them out right on the submission form. Are they both Mrs. Sherlock's Bread Pins from 1920?

    Ah yes I love these things but I never collected/sold sports pins but political pins were my favorite. In fact if you have any of these you are in luck because I sure was. I had no idea that this would sell for so much.

    Wow

    Way to answer the question troll. Apologies for the temporary thread hijack.

    Nice pins. There are a few 1924 Sherlock pins listed on eBay right now. So I would have to assume they would slab these.

    I know they made them in a couple of different years. I think these are from 1920 and not 1924, but that's what I need the clarification on.

    1920 PD3 Mrs. Sherlock's Bread Pins.

    Bresnahan is a HOFer so that one is worth alot more than the common.

    The 1924 pins are numbered.



    The pencil clips are from 1948-52. The Feller (black) is from 1948, the Lemon (brown) is from 1949, the blue ones are from 1951 (with union logo), or 1952 (w/o union logo).

    Wow, thanks a lot fkw!! Thanks LSU and Aragorn as well. What might a pin like the Bresnahan grade?

    I also have this pin, but I'm guessing it isn't anything special.

    You never know, there sure was nothing special about Calvin Coolidge except he created Father's Day so I gotta give him props for that but you get my point

    They're pencils, not pins.

    The Fonseca pin is 1930 Orbit Gum, unnumbered series of 60 (PR3 in the American Card Catalog). Standard Catalog says about $20 in that condition.
