G'day Jack

Im not quite sure what you are asking ?

However there are a series of round "Tinnie" type buttons for the Yes and No votes for the 1916 and 1917 referendums. I have one of them, but cant remember whether its a yes or a no and what year its for.

As far as Im concerned they are not common, I have 1 and have not seen any more.

I hope that this helps.

Regards

Phil.

Hi Jack,

the silver with blue enamel Ballot badges are, as Mick says, quite rare. As to price, like a lot of rare badges, if you get 2 or 3 very keen bidders, they go crazy. I saw one last year go for around 1200 Aussie. I got one recently for almost half that.
They are all made by Angus & Coote, Sydney, and as far as I can tell, there are 2 maybe 3 different dies, the main difference being the placement of the kangaroo's arm, mid shield or top of the shield.

Cheers, Tim
