Originally established in 1834 at Baltimore, the group started as a working man's drinking club with customs and regalia modeled after Native Americans. This collection of includes six badges of varied sizes that follow a similar form of pictorial celluloid pin back badge with satin multi-colored ribbon. The badges date from 1906 through 1930. The gilt titles on the ribbons have flaked off of several of the ribbons and a couple of the badges have toned and rusted, else they are mostly in very good condition.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
