Rare original New York Stock Exchange Badge dated April 1903. These badges were presented only to members of the NYSE upon the opening of the New York Stock Exchange building at 18 Broad Street, New York City on April 22, 1903. As the stock market continued to grow, the NYSE in 1903 moved into a new building with a much larger Trading Floor, designed by George B. Post. Post designed an impressive interior space, with paneled Georgian marble walls, huge windows and a gilded ceiling that stands four stories above traders’ heads. This badge measures 1 5/8” in diameter. It has crisp die struck details and the original pin, catch and ribbon bar are still intact and functional.
