Dinamo Badges.

[deValcourt]

I went through all of the archived previous posts in this category and was surprised not to find any postings of Dynamo badges.

In any case, I've been collecting these for many years (not very agressively) and since I just got two great old screw post Dynamo badges in, I thought I'd share them (and then the rest of my small collection) with all of you - in case anyone is interested.

These first two are my newest: 25 years of Dynamo (1948) made in Tallinn at the "Metall Mark" factory and is numbered 2284 - why it's numbered, I do not have a clue; and a classic "D" white rhombus with an artsy screw nut which says "Moscow Mill - Union 'гипторга'" - actually it's so small every thing is run together - "Союзгипторга" and I can't find a meaning for either the word alone or combined with "union." Anyway, If I had to guess, I'd say late 1940s or early 1950s from the thickness of the brass and the strange screw nut.
