Authentic Vintage Mid-Century "BEAT ARMY" College Football Booster Pinback Button

Up for auction/sale is a wonderful piece of classic American sports history: an original mid-century "BEAT ARMY" football booster button worn by U.S. Naval Academy (Navy Midshipmen) supporters leading up to the historic Army-Navy game.

This is an authentic, period-correct piece—not a modern reproduction.

Design & Manufacturer Details:

• Front: Features the iconic, minimalist stacked block lettering in bold black over a classic cream/aged tan background.

• Reverse: Complete with its original straight-pin mechanism. The lower rim curl is clearly stamped with the prestigious maker's mark: Brown & Bigelow Co. St. Paul, Minn.

• Historical Significance: Brown & Bigelow is highly collected for their mid-century advertising specialties, making this a cross-collectible piece for both college football fans and vintage Americana enthusiasts.

Condition Report:

Please review the high-resolution listing photos to evaluate the condition. The front face displays beautifully with sharp text and minimal wear. The back plate retains crisp manufacturer text and shows expected light vintage patina/surface oxidation from age, which verifies its authentic mid-century origin.

Perfect for display in a sports memorabilia collection, man cave, shadow box, or for wearing to the next Army-Navy game!
