1951 Pennsylvania Resident Fishing license badge. Some light scratches, a bit of yellowing, but overall a good badge. 1 3/4 inches $27.50 item #4205

1937-38 North Carolina State Resident Hunting  and Fishing License badge. Brass metal, with enamel black portion. This is a tough badge to find, and even tougher to find in nice shape. This badge has lost a good bit of its nickel plating, but that is pretty normal for this badge. Many you find have also lost the enamel paint. Many also seem to have lost their pin, this one has intact enamel, and a good pin. This badge was in my collection for many years until I replaced it with one with slightly more nickel, but it was almost a toss up.1 1/2 inches.  $300.00 item #5601

Rabbit Run Fish & Game Association. Tamaqua, PA. Hunting & Fishing Club membership pinbacks. Below is a chart of what I have.

 All in good shape. Plastic, 2 inches. All except for the 1988 buttons have the same medallion in the center, with a deer, fish, rod, gun, and hunter's horn. The 1988 button was the 20 years anniversary for the club, and does not have the medallion. One is shown above. In 1975 they did not print Jr. on the junior badges, member badges were blue, junior was orange. Junior badges were probably for the children of members. Color changes from year to year. The last photo shows the back and pin.  Please specify what years you would like, and if the badge you want is a member, or junior if available. Your choice, $7.50 each, take 10 or more and they will be $5.00 each. item #4637 

Every badge I sell is an authentic, old, badge, unless noted otherwise. I guarantee such, and if you have doubts, you are welcome to return the item for a refund. Make sure any dealer will stand behind what he sells.
