Can anyone help me identify this pin?

An eBay seller sells "proofs" of these pins, calling them "1992 Carol Wright Squares" but I've never seen anyone else call them that.

Any ideas?

    This one lists it as JKA, which produced a bunch of MLB pins in the 1990s...

    not home-made; they are a legitimate, licensed issued from the early 1990's and mostly available from the Carol Wright mail order catalog back that at time. Somewhere along the line, a hoard of "proofs" entered their way into the hobby and are just as common as the pins...

    They seem to be legit, as they do have the MLBPA and MLB info. I actually believe the "proofs" are easier to find than the pins, at least on eBay.

    I guess I'll just go with 1992 as the issue year, as listed by the eBay seller with the "proofs" unless someone else chimes in.

    Thanks, guys.
