15 Antique/Vintage RARE Odd Fellows Grand Sire/Grand Master Pinbacks 12 Cased

Description

Fantastic grouping of Rare Grand Sire/Grand Master and Grand Master Pinbacks and badges. The three separate pinbacks are 1.75" in diameter - 2 are Whitehead & Hoag and the Third is by New England Flags and Regalia. These three aren't cased like the other 12. The 12 cased badges are all 1.25" in diameter and were made by a variety of makers: Whitehead & Hoag, Bastian Brothers, Sommer Badge Manufacturing Company, Hodges Badge Company, Schwerdile Stamp Company, and etc.
A previous owner made a custom Black Walnut case for the 1.25" diameter badges. Each badge rests on a felt covered inset post just large enough to allow the badges to lightly snap into place. The case has a removable plexiglass cover which is held into place with a spring loaded pressure tip. The rear of the case has been slotted to allow it to rest on a wall hanger. The case is very well made and required precision woodworking.
Case measures 8.75" X  9.5" X 1".
We thought about enlarging 3 of the unused felt lined inset posts to allow the 1.75" pinbacks to sit in place; however, after examination and careful consideration we realized that is a task requiring skills we don't possess.
This is a rare opportunity to obtain 15 rare badges/pinbacks at one time; certainly, a unique opportunity.
