Description: This vintage employee button or badge ID is from the Speer Carbon Company in St. Mary's, Pennsylvania. The black and white photograph features the photo of an unknown male employee. The button is in fair shape and still has plenty of detail to showcase its history. Carbide Graphite Group, Inc., was but the latest title given to a company that was first founded in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, in 1899, which coincided with an explosive growth period in the American steel industry. Initially, chemist John Speer and financier Andrew Kaul founded the Speer Carbon Company in order to produce carbon brushes for electric motors and generators. The company added a plant in Niagara Falls, New York, in 1920 to graphitize carbon electrodes, a component in the production of steel. Please see all the photos for the actual condition of this item. It appears to be in fair condition with some wear, scratches, and deterioration. This item is sold as-is and all sales are final, so no returns please. Thank you.
