Price list : Patrons of Husbandry badges, buttons, blanks and supplies.
A trade price list issued in 1905 by Charles J. Bainbridge of Syracuse, New York, offering badges, buttons, blanks and supplies to members of the Patrons of Husbandry, the American farmers' fraternal order. The pictures are small woodcut-style engravings of ribbon-like badge shapes, a clasped-hands emblem in an ornate cartouche, a leather-bound book with stitched panels, and a round seal reading Patrons of Husbandry with a sheaf and a farmer's emblem. A designer could draw on their tidy line work, borders and ornamental emblem forms for vintage fraternal or agricultural insignia.
