Laurence Strong Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 These two came as a set and I am not sure what the difference is, though I do know that the tassel attached denotes a different level IIRC. The is also a difference on detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Strong Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) To give you an idea about how delicate these are, here they are with the Canadian Vetrans quarter (.25 cents), if I recall there were only 3million of these issued in 2004 and they were handed out by a Coffee shop chain called "Tim Horton's" in Canada Edited April 1, 2006 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul L Murphy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Laurence,Send me a PM about getting a copy of my book "In the Name of a Living God" if you have not already got it. There is a whole chapter of these badges. The Patriotic Womens Association had 13 different national level member's badges and a whole range of branch level badges. Once you have all of those you can start on the other female organisations ........... There is no end to it, isn't it wonderful ! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
