The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) is a labor union founded in Marshall, Michigan, on 8 May 1863 as the Brotherhood of the Footboard. It was the first permanent trade organization for railroad workers in the US. A year later it was renamed the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B of LE).
In the 19th century, the Brotherhood generally took a conciliatory approach in dealing with railroad management, preferring to negotiate reasonable demands than to go on strike. The brotherhood was seen as elitist by other railway unions, and sometimes came into conflict during strikes. However, it was respected by its members. By 1925 it had accumulated large investments to support member benefits and pension

Based in Newark, New Jersey, Whitehead & Hoag Co were one of the leading pinback/button badge manufacturers in the USA from the late 19th Century to the mid 20th Century. Pioneers in badge design and construction, they became closely associated with political and presidential campaign button badge manufacturing and their variety of badges were covered by a series of patents, the first of which was issued on June 14th, 1892 with its 'Waving Flag' patent. Other patents soon followed:
Formed in 1892 by Benjamin S Whitehead (1858-1940) and Chester R Hoag (1860-1935) the company became one of the largest badge manufacturers in the world and although they did make hard vitreous enamel badges and medals, it was their celluloid and ribbon badges that dominated their output.
