After collecting Labor Memorabilia for over thirty-five years, I have decided to sell-off my collection of over 4400 Labor Union & Cause items. Many of these items have never appeared on ebay or for that matter, on any other venues selling historical pieces. Some of the pieces go back to the year of 1834 and others are from the Knights of Labor, Western Federation of Labor, IWW and other labor organizations of the late 19th century. T are Parade Badges, Pins, Convention Badges, Ribbons, Caps & Hats, 3-D items, Plates, Paper, Books, Signs & Posters of practically every union which ever existed including noted Labor leaders of the century. Most of the items are in Nice, Great, Excellent, Near-Mint, Mint and Minty-Mint condition and also, many are Rare, Very Rare and Extremely Rare pieces. One of the items is a great looking, Extremely Rare, early 1898ca. "BROTHERHOOD of LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN & ENGINEMEN(BLFE) - BORDER LODGE No. 32 - ELLIS, KANSAS" badge. This 3" x 9.125" badge with a gold-tone brass hanger and red/white/green ribbon with sharp, crisp gold lettering would be in MINT CONDITION if not for two wear-holes near the left-side of the hanging locomotive.
