Brass Badge type thing found at park

[finder99]

Found this at local park and have done search's on it with no luck.

The small print says (IOWA STATE CAPITAL),the image on it is the state capital building.It looks like it had a pin on back at one time.

The interlinked hoses lead me to believe that it is a Fire Department badge...check with your local FD.

Fire Dept. is the first thing that comes to mind for me too. Monty

They look like fire hose nozzles,but could they be cannons instead? Look closer.Nice find.

You're right...they do look like crossed cannons. I guess as a fire fighter I immediately saw straight bore nozzles.

Is it possible that it could be a Tour Guide Hat Badge? Maybe it said Guide where it's all rusted! Just a guess!

I'm guessing that this is a badge from a veteran's encampment at the Iowa capital.

Similar to this one:

They don't do stuff like this much anymore, but way back, the old vets would get together on a regular basis and the organizers would hand out badges and medals and ribbons and other stuff to commemorate the occasion.

I Think DC Nailed It, It Most Definitely Looks Like A GAR Badge From A Union Veterans Re Union Or Encampment. trk5capt...
