Hi, We went up to Cape Cod, MA for a week. It was great, but brutally hot--check out my post here:

Have you been able to find any info on it with Google? Try putting it on the What Is It forum too as there are a few guys that hang out there that are excellent with the detective work. Still looking forward to reading up on this!

I couldn't seem to find any references to "Big Indian Congress" with Google which was odd. Can someone cut and past the article from the newspaper and post it here....I couldn't find it. If this is Guthrie's badge for the show I'd say it's definitely a banner find!

I can't find a similar badge anywhere yet, so you may have a pretty rare item there. If it did belong to Guthrie then it is also a valuable piece of history in and of itself. Can you post a higher resolution pic of the front and the back? Can you transcribe all of the text on the front? The spacing of the A. & Guthrie seems odd...is there another letter there that I'm not seeing? A high res pic will help. The word "BIG" is hard to see but it does say "BIG INDIAN CONGRESS".
