I collect the metal badges from the Helldorado rodeo and parades that the Elks held in Las Vegas for many years. There were several every year, including officials badges, some sold or given to tourists, badges for the jailers at the Kangaroo Kort, and so on. If you walked downtown in the sixties in May, you had better be wearing 'western' or you would be locked up in the public jail (for about 10 minutes) [g].
I have 30-40 different now. Would be interested in trading if anyone on the bb has extras.
Here's one of my dupes from 35 years or so ago.
