Press pin from the 1914 World Series, remembered as one of the greatest upsets in all of baseball history. Ornate press pin features the word ''PRESS'' on a ribbon connecting a brass plate on top and a brass medallion on the bottom. Top brass plate reads ''Philadelphia 'Athletics' American League'' with an elephant balancing upon two crossed bats. The medallion below the ribbon reads ''World Series / Shibe Park / Philadelphia / 1914''. The back of the medallion reads ''J.E. Caldwell'', maker of the pin. The pin is in very good condition with all parts present and operational, although the ribbon is faded and somewhat tattered. The metal on both attached pieces in in very good condition and the enamel upon the baseball is beautifully intact with no chipping. The 1914 World Series was the first ever four-game sweep, with the Boston ''Miracle'' Braves, who had been dead last in the summer of 1914, winning over the Philadelphia A's. An exceptional piece of baseball memorabilia.
