If you are a collector of labor awards (like me), than this is an exciting find! in the Hungarian system of state-regulated labor, workers at a work place were divided up into "brigades". once i worked in a coffee maker factory in Illinois, and our groups were called "cells"...but the Hungarian brigades were around 25. i have been told that some larger factories had one hundred or more brigades. This set of one badge and one lapel pin together in a plastic case was an award for excellence bestowed on every member of the most productive brigade.
The badge is 1 1/8" and the pin is 5/8". they are enameled deep red, flat red, green, and white on gold. very high quality, and very impressive. i usally have several in stock, i will always send the one in the best condition first.
Shipping Policy: Domestic postage includes tracking number. "Int'l Economy Shipping" does not include tracking. "USPS First Class International " includes tracking . For combined postage, i ask the full shipping price for the first badge or medal , and then an extra $0.50 for each item after (with extra discounts to orders of 6 badges/medals or more). If you purchase several items, please wait for me to send you an invoice with adjusted postage before paying. If eBay will not allow you to request a total, I will refund overages after paying. All orders ship every weekday morning. ALWAYS SHIPS FROM USA.
thank you for you interest in history and Socialism!
