NOTES:

 This is a reproduction of a 1930s Babe Ruth Boys Club Member,  Esso Gasoline Promotion Pin. The original pins where given out by Esso Stations when you joined the Babe Ruth Boys Club. Babe Ruth did a number of promotions for Esso which included the Esso Sponsored Boys club. Pictured at the bottom is a promotion for a contest to win a Babe Ruth Home Run Fielders Glove, a personally signed Baseball, or a trip to Babe Ruth spring training Camp. Pictured on the coupon is this Charter member Pin. Below left is the original pin. Notice that the writing is bold on the original pin as compared to the reproduction pin below right. The reproduction pin also has less detail on the "baseball stitching" The back of this pin is also made to look vintage as if the pin itself was wielded on. The reproduction pin was made as a fantasy piece, but is being sold as original on eBay. Buyer Beware! The original pin should sell for about $150.+ but Most collectors that know about the repro's stay away from the auctions keeping the price down. The repro's sell for $25. -$50. to unsuspecting buyers.
