Gordon Craig Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Zsolt,Thanks for posting the badge. I've seen them around, infortunately not cased, and wasn't sure of what they were awarded for.Regards,Gordon
hunyadi Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 RARE!!!! Is all I can say about this one - perhaps Zsolt can give some more information about it. (as I have none - but a guess that it may have been for agriculture???)
Ulsterman Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 oooooh-looks very early and nice!!! GREAT catch!Perhaps one for the JOMSA addendum article? (If there ever is one)
Gordon Craig Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Charles,Thats a beauty. Don't ever remember seeing one like that before.Cheers,Gordon
hunyadi Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 About four months ago I was at the show and a guy showed up at one of the tables and produced a binder with a board of these. Types that I had never seen nor knew existed. Almost all of these had a larger banner, enameled wreaths, etc... My mouth watered (and so did others who saw them!) When I asked if any were for sale - he ed, since then I have only found this one at the coin show. They do not come up often, and till Zsolt can shed more light on them, I cant add anything!Well - yes the star is the plastic type, but it was made without the loops (no scars of one being shaved off) When I looked at the other collectors collection there were silver metal and plastic types.
hunyadi Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Here is a fairly common award with the Kadar Crest, but not seen too often with the Rakosi crest. This is "State Agricultural Excelent Worker" (i.e. collective farm) badge. I like to call these the 'sunshine on a stick' badges as the badge has the representation of a sun with the shafts of wheat growing into a wreath around the national crest. Its actually quite a heavy badge.
Hauptmann Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Hi all,Here are a few I've added since Christmas time thanks to Charles and Zsolt. This one (pics and award) courtesy of Charles: Edited March 8, 2008 by Hauptman
Hauptmann Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Hoping these fit here (photos and awards courtesy of Zsolt):
Gordon Craig Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Hoping these fit here (photos and awards courtesy of Zsolt):Dan,Unfortunately, although this is a very nice set of cased badges, these do not really fit in with the Kivalo Dolgozo thread. They would do better in the Tozsgarda thread as that is what they are. Badges for long service with a specific firm. Although I have lots of Torzsgarda pins I don't have a cased set yet. Thanks for posting the pictures. Good reference material.Regards,Gordon

Verdun16 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Here's one of a few dozen that I picked up a few years ago in Budapest,Bryan
hunyadi Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Verdun16 - Nice example of an early type - (1950 - 1954) before they went to the plastic ones...did you get some with the cases?
Verdun16 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, I do have some with cases and with the docs plus quite a few different types numbered and unumbered. Just have to get this scanner to work or replace it. Thanks for the info. I bought alot of these over the years and still don't know much about them. has anyone put together a book on these yet? Bryan
Gordon Craig Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Verdun16,There was a book publish a few years ago on Kivalo Dolgozo badges. I belieeve it was done in conjunction with the National Museum but don't quote me on that. Charles and I saw a copy of this book when we visited the curator of medals at the National Muesum last spring. We have been hunting for a copy ever since without any success. Charles has done an article on Kivalo Dolgozo badges in the OMSA Journal but that is all the info on print on these badges that I am aware of. Excluding of course, the information published on this forum.Regards,Gordon
Ulsterman Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 well, I got a new one today-it doesn't scan well, so no picture I'm afraid. But it's a dead ringer for the one one the far right in post # 141 and has: AZ Ipari Szovetkeze, Kivalo Dolgozoja" on it so I think its some sort of Youth excellent worker?
hunyadi Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 That would be a varaint - sort of.... The badge you have is for 'Excellent Work in the Industrial Cooperative'. The one Zsolt showed was the 'Excellent Work in the Craftsman Cooperative'.Apparently this was instituted on Novemebr 1st, 1957. Hot enamel would probably indicate an award from the late 1950's early 1960's on this one.
Verdun16 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Here are a few more that I got around to pulling out of the closet,Bryan
