    Golden Party Badge

    Does anyone know how many members did this to their badge?

    Thank you

    Hi Raymond,

    I believe that a Pg. entitled to the GPB could order a small badge with a factory-attached button-hole stud like this one. A real beauty!

    Sorry, but no answer to your question...

      No idea.

      Hope the 15067 pair got reunited when John's was sold at HH's.

        Br. James,

        The stud attachment on the badge shown isn't factory made but has been altered by the recipient.

        Here is an example of the factory-made 24mm GPB with a butthole attachment.

          Hi Stan,

          Thanks for your good response! Deschler GPBs bearing studs are also distinguished by the manner of the numbering on the reverse: as you know, regular Deschlers, both large and small, carried the numbering or the 'AH' and date in a straight line, whereas the Fuess-marked GPBs were numbered along the bottom edge. But the addition of a button-hole stud at the Deschler factory changed their thinking on where to place the number/'AH' and so Deschler studded GPBs carried their numbers along the bottom edge just as the Fuess-marked badges did.

          I did notice that the photo of the reverse of the studded badge in question included the number in a straight line, which indicated to me that the stud was applied to a regular Deschler small badge, undoubtedly by a local jeweler and not by the factory. Also, the style of the stud itself which Deschler used is different from that on the privately-modified piece. I didn't want to get into such detail with my initial response, but your note gave me the opportunity!

          The Eberstein small Deschler would be a 'keeper' in most any collection, and especially with the privately-modified stud reverse...IMO, of course!

          Cheers,

          Br. James
