Southern Illinois Coal Festival Hat Pin

This is one of two versions of this pin. This one looks like bronze. This festival was held at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, in DuQuoin, Illinois. It shows a continuous miner, which is used to cut and load coal in underground mines and a dragline, used to load coal in surface mines. DuQuoin lies within district 12 of the UMWA.
