Very interesting badge! Let us know what you find out about it. I just tried brief Google image search which revealed that some of the so-called "Wild West" traveling shows were called "Wild West Congress", so maybe that'll help a little. In any case, great find -- CONGRATS! Andi

I'd say it's real, but I don't think it's from the 1800's. He was a part indian showman and in 1946 was the manager and producer of the Grand National Rodeo, and he was married to Tom Mix's daughter too.

Fantastic find brother! It sure looks real to me and a fine piece of history there. Gotta go do some yard work here, but looking forward to reading about the badge. BTW, I didn't forget about you with the bees wax--we've been on vacation and I had to get some envelopes etc for mailing. Sorry for the delay -- it should be in the mail tomorrow.

Best, Erik

Bodacious badge, Petrie!

I'm wondering if he might have been a part of Colonel Cummin's Wild West Indian Congress...

I know it's freakin awesome, thanks agai. Erik I was wondering I have been looking for it in the mail ! Lol

 

[Erik in NJ]

Lol--sorry brother...it'll be in the mail this week (beginning) I needed to get the right envelopes -- sorry, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and trying to put my hands on things after my lovely wife cleans up after me requires a minor miracle

I know it's freakin awesome, thanks agai. Erik I was wondering I have been looking for it in the mail ! Lol
