The product is a vintage badge from an employee outing at the P.S. Railway in Newburg, NY on August 26, 1908. The badge bears a patent date of August 1, 1899, adding to its historical value and collectibility. With a focus on transportation and railroadiana, this badge would be a unique and sought-after piece for collectors interested in memorabilia from the railroad industry. Please note there are some stains on it. We believe the Marking on the back reveals The Whitehead Hoag Co Newark NJ.
