1952 Claxton Shield badges

Overview

Three 1952 Claxton Shield badges. Two of the badges are metal stick pins. One stick pin is round and silver-coloured with a dark blue inner border containing the words 'Australian Baseball Championship', with 'Perth 1952' on a white baseball in the centre. The second stick pin is shield-shaped with a gold-coloured border and 'Perth 1952' on a dark-blue background with two crossed baseball bats and baseball. A pale-blue band with the words 'Claxton Shield' lies diagonally across the badge.
