Bingo. The results of that search were almost all related to Patrons of Husbandry and Grange. Fuller is a regalia company and one search result showed the company as the official provider of member pins for PH/Grange. PH/Grange is a professional association of farmers. |
Good sleuthing.
I was a Grange member in my younger days, and while I can't say I recall that *exact* pin, I did recognize it as a PH pin.
