Attached is an image of two badges from my collection.  It is my understanding that they are Post Office Department and railroad badges for personnel handling U.S. Mail at principal terminal on the railroad.  Only authorized personnel were allowed the handle U.S. Mail.

There’s an interesting badge on eBay at U.S.M BURLINGTON ROUTE 310 CONDUCTORS BADGE RAILROAD L@@K | eBay It’s triangular but with rounded points and sides, a Burlington Route herald in the middle with “U.S.M.” above it and “310” below.  Anyone know anything about it?

(Due to the effect of the International Date Line, it is already New Year’s Day in NZ, the sun is shining and this year looks better than the last one. It could hardly look worse, could it! So happy New Year)
