Oh cool, Happy New Year!
I have 2 like this but would love to own this one
MidMichBidder, do yours mention a town? I have smaller ones like this but no mention of a town.
No town on mine, I didn't notice the size of the Rock Creek pin, One of mine is 1 1/4 the other 2 or 2 1/8 both with the same photo, I also have one Teddy? 1 1/4 pin it looks more like a Roy Rogers pin he's on a bucking horse dressed like a cowboy with the the words "Our Teddy Never Pulls Leather" it looks like Teddy but I haven't found it anywhere yet, None of mine are in such mint shape as this Rock Creek pin, the cowboy poor to fair, the 2 inch is fair, the 1 1/4 good.
Nice all the one's you find with towns on them, and I had bunches of them. Very nice.
