Jacob started collecting Illinois Homecoming pinbacks some years ago as they are the most intriguing, attractive, and collectable of all early football pinbacks. He decided to go with early pins, stopping at 1940.
Below is a list of homecoming pins and a few other items that represent the years 1910 (the year of their first true Homecoming) through 1940.
1910 Homecoming Beanie (the pin and beanie are both exceedingly rare, and we chose to add the beanie to the collection to cover the 1910 homecoming). See blog entry dated January 9, 2015.
1911 Homecoming pass (we do not believe there is a 1911 pinback)
1912-1913 pinback
1913-1914 pinback (possibly the rarest, as we have seen only one in eighteen years)
1914-1915 pinback
1915-1916 pinback
1916-1917 pinback
1917 pinback
1919 pinback
1921-1929 pinbacks (including the 1929 Army v. Illinois)
Various Stadium Builder or Stadium pinbacks from the 1920s
1930-1940 pinbacks (including both the yellow and orange variations of the 1940 pinback)
