Lot # 468: 1909-1910 Winkelman's Quaker Bread Pins Bob Coulson PSA EX 5 - The Only Graded Example!

Graded EX 5 by PSA. This is the ONLY example ever graded by PSA! Exceedingly rare example of a circa 1909 Winkleman's Quaker Bread pin. This is only the fourth time we have offered an example from this series in the past 21 years. Similar in design to the popular Morton's Bread advertising pin set featuring Detroit Tigers players, the Winkleman's Quaker Bread pins feature players from the Memphis Turtles, a minor-league member of the Southern Association. The player featured on the offered pin is Bob Coulson, who only played with Memphis in 1909. (Coulson also played four seasons of major league ball, including one season with the Federal League in 1914). Complete with its original Whitehead & Hoag paper label on the reverse. (Whitehead & Hoag was the largest pin manufacturer in the country at the time.) Diameter: 1.25 inches.
