Specialist note
Exceedingly scarce original World Series press pin as issued for the infamous championship series which was thrown by the Chicago "Black Sox". Raised image of White Sox owner Charles Comiskey in gilt finish adorns the pin which due to his frugality was an exact design copy from the 1917 version of same. Pin presents in very fine condition with strong eye appeal. Included with the pin is its very rare original white silk ribbon having "Press World Series 1919" titling. Ribbon has some tattering to one end with partial tear at center. One of the most elusive and desirable World Series press pins to obtain with added scarcity of its original ribbon: Pin: NM, Ribbon: GD
