`Ken,

I honestly do not know what kind of badge/medallion you have found. It looks to be in very nice condition for the age. My guesses are a railroad badge or a bus driver's ID bag. I think the number 1050 is an employee number and the 2 might be the route number. Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAT) bus started in 1964. I would check with the Heinz History Center, in the strip district of Pittsburgh. They may be able to help you more. Hope it helps.

Looks like a Coal Mine tag. The tag is from the person who loaded the coal into the cart. This tag is the way they keep track of paying workers for a hard days labor. I may be wrong

Before the Port Authority there was the Pennsylvania railway which had fare tokens. They were streetcars. Check to see if that's one of them. I found one and know they only made those for a couple years. Not sure where I got mine stashed here at home but that 1922 date sounds familiar.
