I have seen some badges listed on Show and Tell and this is a recent find that I thought some of you would enjoy. It is about 2 inches from top to bottom and 1 1/2 inches across. I would appreciate any feedback that can be provided to me on the item as well. When is it from? Also possibly if it is a rare piece. I believe it is from the early 1900's.
Thank you as always my friends for looking, as well as any help provided, and have a blessed day! : )

I will pass along a link for you that may be of help. I have a dozen or so badges and they are very collectible but on average not terrible valuable. You will find all kinds of badges on this site.
