Welcome to this
NO-RESERVE
auction for the pictured
Lot
of
Two
Old
Railroad
Uniform Buttons
and/or
Collar Pins
.
*
Please excuse my ignorance of these items
... I
am
selling these for a friend
who is retiring--and moving--soon and wants to clear out his basement full of antiques and other collectibles. He could not remember exactly when or where he came to own the items. He knows no more about them than I do. So... What follows is a combination of what I can observe and what I have learned via some online research.
* One is clearly a
ROCK ISLAND LINES
piece made by
Chas. Rubens
(
Chicago
). It is a
smaller
piece; measuring
5/8"
in
diameter
.
* The other one is a
total mystery
to me; I see no maker markings. It measures
3/4"
in
diameter
.
*
Not sure
of the
date
for either piece...
* Please
see pics
for additional details. Let me know if you have any
questions
(or
insight
you would like to share).
