Very interesting, guys. I have long had an early HJ Membership Badge in my collection like the one on the far right -- with the whited-out areas that were otherwise black in that design -- and have wondered why that particular badge design existed? Perhaps someone who specializes in HJ can provide some insight here?

Many thanks, as always, and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of our colleagues in the USA!
