Hi Dave,
Nice find! Employee badges are definitely collectible. The car company employee badges are very popular among car buffs. I haven't seen a big following for bank employee badges, but I'm sure there are collectors out there! I would place a value of roughly $50-100 dollars on your 1901 Farmers National Bank employee badge. I've never seen one like it before, but not many people are looking specifically for Farmers National bank -- Burlington, Kansas employee badges. I appreciate you sharing the badge with us. As I said, it's a great find, and a wonderful piece of American History. |
