Interesting collection of six vintage and antique American medical, public health and charitable organization pinbacks/badges.

The group spans several historic public health campaigns and includes Red Cross, infantile paralysis/polio, March of Dimes, chest X-ray and Modern Health Crusader material.

INCLUDED:

• "I've Had a Chest X-Ray – Have You?" pinback

  – Marked Whitehead & Hoag Co., Newark, N.J. on reverse

• National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis pin

  – "Celebrate Our President's Diamond Jubilee Birthday"

  – "Join the March of Dimes"

• "Fight Infantile Paralysis" rectangular pin

• 1919 Modern Health Crusader pinback

• American Red Cross Volunteer embroidered/textile badge

• "Serve" Red Cross pinback

Six pieces total.

Only the Chest X-Ray pin carries the Whitehead & Hoag maker identification on the reverse; the remaining pieces have plain/unmarked backs.

A fascinating group representing early American public health education, disease prevention, charitable fundraising and volunteer service.

Great collection for a collector of medical history, Red Cross memorabilia, March of Dimes/polio history, tuberculosis and public health ephemera, or antique and vintage pinbacks.

All pieces show varying degrees of age-related wear and patina. Please examine the photographs carefully as they are an important part of the description.

Items are guaranteed to be authentic and in the condition described. 

I pack with care and use new (or clean used) professional packing products. 

All sales final except for misrepresentation which is rare, but always made right. 

I appreciate your business!
