found this on a lot today where i found a 1909 IH penny last week its 4 inches long 1 inch wide it has places on either side for a pin bar maybe?just wondering if anyone could put a date to it.think its probably off the hat due to its size.

Pullman Porter was a job...

Pullman was the company Train/Bus the Porter worked on.

This piece was probebly the nameplate off the Porter's door or it came off his Porter's uniform cap.

What does the back look like?

Dang... I missed the pic.

Oh well... Thanks PBK

Hey Woody... the museum (Link I posted) might be interested in the cap badge... just saying, if you wanna part with it they might display it under your name as a donation or something.

Bound to be some crossfire when finds get double-posted!

Ahhh... I never look at today's finds so I missed that completely.
