Vintage Kansas City The Heart of America and 49 similar items

UP FOR SALE: This vintage metal name badge identifies J. H. Hostettler, Postmaster of Belleville, Kansas, and features the iconic ?Kansas City ? The Heart of America? motif across the top. The badge is richly detailed with raised architectural imagery and a decorative border, reflecting early-to-mid 20th century civic and postal presentation styles. The reverse retains its original attachment hardware, and the badge shows honest age wear consistent with period use. Lettering remains crisp and fully legible. This is a named, location-specific postal artifact, making it far more desirable than generic souvenir badges. An excellent piece of American postal history, Kansas memorabilia, or named ephemera, suitable for collectors of government service items, Midwest history, or early civic identification badges.
