Shown is P2 pin of Dots Miller. Issued from 1910-1912 by the American Tobacco Company. If the pin is completely intact it will have a cardboard back with advertisement.
"Dot's" birth name was John Barney Miller. It has been said the when someone was looking for him they asked Honus Wagner where he was. Honus pointed in his direction and said in his heavy accent "Dots (thats) Miller". Other have said this name was his from his childhood.
