ARTIFACT:
Fabulous 1912, dated Brown University Brownie Football Badge. Engraving on back shows original owners initials "LFB", badge is gilt sterling silver with red enamel and is made by Bailey, Banks & Biddle.
We are not certain if this was an early Mascot alternative to Bruno the Brown Bear, which dates back to 1904, or just a play on the Brown name, but it was definitely at least quasi-official, having been manufactured by the esteemed Philadelphia jewelry firm of Bailey, Banks & Biddle
