Western Union Hat Badge

Just found this, I tried to find a similar one online, but no luck. Western Union was founded in 1851. My area I dig tends to date from 1890-1910. Any idea the age?? Happy Hunting!!

I'm going by what another site has listed but seems your find is quite rare and from 1870s. Neat find for sure.
