Early Japanese Baseball Badge Prize Toy -H

These vintage (possibly before WW2) badges were prize toys. Each badge was attached to a lightweight cardboard sheet in a numbered space. There were tickets at the bottom that the buyer would select to see what number prize they got. 

The badge fastens like a tie tack with a post and knurled knob that screws into place. The badge is made of a soft metal, possibly pewter. I have had many early Japanese figures, penny toys and pin backs cast in this soft, almost flexible metal...most were made in the pre-war period.

Condition is unused, just as it came from the prize toy sheet.

Badge "H" shows a bat and baseball with the words Base and Ball on either side.

1.5 inches ( 3.8 cm) wide
