Greetings all!

I re-found this badge the other day and thought perhaps someone could identify it. Vermont I know but militia, civilian fire service or other? Very thin, very light but brass that shows the signs of once being gilded.

Thanks and best wishes!

I found one just like it on the Internet - the site says it is a WWI era (1914-1918) Vermont National Guard collar pin. Below is a pick from the one I found online (ebay - for sale $45.00).

I bought a big box of political; buttons years ago and had to move the box yesterday to facilitate a remodel job on the house. I'm rediscovering all kinds of things! LOL Thanks Tom, I was suspecting early 20th century by the design of the clasp.

Thanks ALL!

Sorry, but I forgot to mention in my previous reply that you found a wonderful relic! I would love to find something from the WWI era!
