Delicate and beautiful the PM1 "Ornate Frame" pins are more jewelry than sportscard featuring a small (the pins measure about 1" x 1 1/8") photo of a player with his name underneath surrounded by an "ornate" metal frame. Incredibly scarce the manufacturer of the pins along with their original method of distribution remain unknown. A recent discovery of nine mint-condition examples show that the pins were initially affixed to 2x2" blank cards with the frame a lighter gold color. Most frames oxidized over the years with toning inevitable with the images result in condition issues that are not only accepted with this issue but taken for granted. This example depicts Hall of Fame center fielder Tris Speaker. Some fading to the image is apparent the patina of the frame reducing its natural shine however the piece remains in strong condition given its construction. PM1 pins are beautiful and difficult to find; Hall of Famers continue to be in high demand in the hobby and this is an excellent example.
