These three amazing pieces were given to the champions of a Class A Baseball league in Pittsburgh. The first is a large coin-like charm that's attached to a ribbon pinback. It's dated 1924 and has a baseball in the center. Surrounding the baseball it reads -"Pittsburgh Press- Baseball Champions". The verso side reads "Press Universal Portland Cement League" - "E. Linhart". It is stamped on the bottom "Dieges & Clust". The second piece is a charm with a baseball batter standing on a baseball. It's dated 1925 and also declares "Pittsburgh Press Champion" on the front. The back side reads "Greater Pittsburgh Baseball Commision- Class A". The thrid piece is also a charm that has a catcher standing on a ball. It reads identical to the 1925 charm, but is dated 1927. The two charms resemble the Spalding trophies of that era in miniature form. All three are in excellent plus to near mint condition.
