Conductor pin! Cleaned up finds!

[diggingthe1]

I found this at a new permission in Cripple Creek! It must have been from one of the gold camps railroads. I wonder if a name or the Railroad hung below?The other coins are 2 v nickels 1898 and 1897 and a holed upside down Indian! I love the button machine and the pins cleaned up nice. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!!

Nice assortment you found.

It seems those shamrock pins are political, have you researched them at all? Very interesting.

Thanks for the posts! Hopefully it won't be covered for some time! The clover pins were from the loser of the presidential race in 1900 Deft Tones they were fun to research. I love the relics up here. Stop in if you ever get a chance Texas Ed or anyone. Happy Hunting.

Very cool!

I've found a presidential watch fob piece from around the same time. It also was from the loser of that race.

Excellent finds for sure and congrats! Yeah, the conductor badge is too small and incorrect design for a hat badge. Perhaps a lapel badge with the name or name of railroad hanging beneath as you suggest. Your other items date the site nicely. Well done sir.

That conductor pin is awesome. A great piece of Railroad memorabilia.

Love the look of this machine badge too!

I wonder if pins were ever worn by conductors in opera houses or concert halls??
Those finds cleaned up nicely.
