I saw this badge last week - a freind got this badge for almost nothing...but it was cheaper looking. I think your badge is older version.

Hopefully this is a better scan of this rather small badge

Hi Tal

This cost me 5 bucks.......I liked the document above all, love the fact that it got issued in 52..........smells good........during Stalins time......

Thats what I love about badges......even if you are short of a few bob you can indulge and enjoy

The BD badge and doc I posted today cost 2 dollars......love it


I notice there is no direction for south on the badge, just in case it gave bad ideas............perhaps.......another LOL Tal

Perhaps I am wrong... But for me this is not employee's badge, but reather turist club member's badge.

Guys,
Do you have any ideas on this badge?

It's a tourist badge.
These were given out in the 50's & the 60's.

That was quick, Thanks Rusty. ;)

This particular one is from 1973.

So it would stand that they were given out in the 70's as well... ;)
