Several intriguing and infrequently seen pinback buttons here are highlighted by 30 hockey representatives, 11 of them Chicago Blackhawks-related. An ancient celluloid Black Hawk Booster club 3-1/2” in diameter pin includes red, white and black ribbons and is most impressive, with a 1-1/2” metal Hawks pin joined by two little white plastic skates, a plastic golf club(!) and black and white ribbons. Two Stan Mikita Fan Club pinbacks include one close to the size of a 4” job hailing Chicago’s regular season championship in 1966-67. A couple of “Blackhawk Standbys” pins are also notable, while the other hockey pins are led by New York Rangers’ entries. Two Rangers Fan Club buttons look to be from the Original Six era, as does a Blue Line Club – New York pinback. A pin from the night that Rollie and Ching Johnson were honored in Minneapolis, a Washington Lions – Uline Arena pin and a mirror-backed oval pin-like affair picturing a Calumet, Michigan team are also decades old and scarce. Three AHL Boston Braves pins, a New England Whalers Booster Club pin, two of the Lake Elmo Lakers (one dated 1952-53) and a few others complete the hockey section, while the rest are almost entirely baseball pins. Nothing really noteworthy, with youth baseball tournaments/association/teams and softball tournaments, most of them from the province of Quebec, the subjects.
