    Description

    Ten different pinback buttons.  Most list Minnesota, Minneapolis, or St. Paul.  I assume others are from there as well, as they came from the same collection.  The quarter is to offer size comparison.  Buttons are as follows:
    Saint Paul Building Trades Council- Sheet Metal Workers No. 78, 1938; United Packinghouse Workers of America 1941; Warehouse Employees Union 1938; Machinists and Mechanics Union Minn. 1939; Warehouse and Inside Workers Feb, 1939; Building Service local 26, 1939; St. Paul General Drivers and Helpers Union, 1939; Wholesale Employees Ass'n 1937, St. Paul; Minneapolis Warehouse Employees Union, 1940; Milk Drivers and Dairy Employees Union, Feb., 1941.
    The back of most of these say Western Badge and Novelty Co., St. Paul, Minn.
