Ext Rare Old West Railroad Badge for Excursion to City of Mexico Nov 20th 1887

This great badge was made for a tour to Mexico City on November 20th, 1887, when 4 Railroads joined force to bring the trip to fruition. The C. & A. ( Chicago & Alton Railroad ), the A, T., & S. F. ( Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe ), Mex. Cent. ( Mexican Central Railway ), and Mex. Ry. (Mexican Railway) are all represent on this wonderful badge, worn no doubt by both the travelers, and the Railroad employees on the trip. 

Circa 1887.

Approximately 2-7/8” in length x 1-1/8” in height.

Stamped nickel, with a nickel plated brass pin.

Vertical safety-style pin, and a hand-cut sheet nickel “saddle” for extra support of the pin.

This is from a Railroad and Railway collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-NSS-VFEJX20 LAAGEX06/15/20 SRET01/22/22
