Outstanding example of the rarest of all Jackie Robinson pins. Issued by the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper in 1947, the design features a portrait image of Robinson surrounded by text that reads "Jackie Robinson Tells His Story In The Brooklyn Eagle." Its scarcity is most likely related to its method of distribution. Unlike nearly all other Robinson pins in the hobby, which were retail issues sold at the stadium, this pin was distributed by the Brooklyn Eagle as a promotional piece. One of the most interesting aspects of this pin is the letter "S" under Robinson's image. The pins were issued with different letters of Jackie Robinson's name, so kids could eventually collect a set that read "Jackie Robinson". Despite that promotional gimmick, this is one of only a few examples we have ever seen with the letter "S" (most of the others we have seen feature the letters "J", "B," or "N"), and, given the pin's rarity, it is likely that the promotion ended long before all the other letters were distributed. Produced by "Samuel H. Moss Inc. New York" as noted in print along the rim. The pin is 1.5 inch in diameter. A superb example of the most desirable and elusive Jackie Robinson pinback buttons in the hobby.
