Two Gaels
I have this pair of badges from the exact same die, voided and unvoided. The lugs are the same gauge thinner wire with rectangular feet seen on many earlier badges, which I think may be unique to a particular maker?
I don't know how voiding was achieved if made from the same die as the other, unless they were able to make two identical dies, one voided and one not?
Again, I am of the belief that unvoided Gaels badges were in currency well beyond their supposed obsolescence. I believe this also likely applied to tail up or down as well.
