THIS IS A GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC 95 YEAR OLD CHICAGO AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION PIN OR BADGE THAT IS DATED 1913. THIS WAS A SECRET SOCIETY TYPE OF ORGANIZATION. I BELIEVE THE MEMBERS WERE MEN WHO WORKED IN THE ENGINEERING AND CASTING OF METAL FOUNDARIES. THE PIN IS ENAMELED IN BLUE AND GOLD. THIS ORGANIZATION WAS STARTED IN 1896, SO THIS IS A VERY EARY PIN. IN 1948 THIS ORGANIZATION WAS RENAMED THE AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S SOCIETY. THIS PIN MEASURES ABOUT5/8 INCH ACROSS. PIN IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PIN IS MARKED ON THE BACK. IT SAYS CHICAGO AND HAS THE MAKERS MARK WHICH I CANNOT QUITE READ. IT COULD SAY SHIELDS. THIS PIN WAS FOUND IN A COLLECTION OF OLD PINS, CUFF LINKS, CHARMS, ETC. SOME OF WHICH WERE GOLD AND SILVER AND SOME DATED TO THE 1880'S. I SHIP WORLD WIDE. I ACCEPT PAYPAL, MONEY ORDERS AND CHECKS. I DO NOT CHARGE SALES TAX. COMES FROM A SMOKE FREE HOME. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
