Patchcollector Posted December 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2016 Hey all, I found these rarely seen badges for a "Buy it Now" price that was too hard to pass up.They are on a Gemsco card and I believe them to be pre-war as the Bureau was under the War Department from 1902 to 1939.Sellers pics. The Bureau of Insular Affairs was a division of the United States Department of War that oversaw civil aspects of the administration of several territories from 1898 until 1939.

Patchcollector Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted December 20, 2016 Back view.From the images they appear to be unmarked,and have the older style clasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennings Lane Posted December 20, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 20, 2016 Purchased from a fine, upstanding dealer, if I don't say so myself. Or, in this case, about myself. Did I mention modest? Let me know how you like them. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
