Right again Dennman. I missed the third 'signature' counterstamp. Good eye.

A really cool 3D 1930 LWC. I've never seen these 'pop up' type counterstamps until recently. Third one I've ran across in the past few months. I wonder if the image is depicting a particular indian chief or if it is a more generic image. I didn't take an image of the reverse but there is evidence of some residual solder. This was probably initially meant to be used as a pendant or pin.

1951 LWC counterstamped '1955' and engraved above the date 'NYY'.

The 1955 New York Yankees won their 21st pennant but lost the World Series in 7 games to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Can only assume the counter stamp and engraving were done by a fan celebrating the pennant win.

Information on the 1955 New York Yankees:
