1946 St. Louis Cardinals Baseball World Series Press Pin

  
Collector and dealer Jim Johnson, who wrote the definitive work on press pins the late 1980's, wrote about this pin: The 1946 St Louis is a modest pin, principally remembered as the pin with the silver alloy not adhering to its copper base. An example of this pin has yet to be found with the plating fully intact. That is the case with this pin.

The enamel and redbird are very fine, the bats and back show the plating problem. Made by St Louis Button Co, hallmarked on reverse. Still a seldom seen piece. I humbly think this one is nicer.
