Commemorative Plaques & Flagholders

Brotherhood of

I have found several examples of this flagholder in New York and Northern
Pennsylvania cemeteries in several colors including massively rusted. Both the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, as well as other
related organizations, merged in 1969 to become the United Transportation
Union. The Auxiliary to the BRT was formed
in 1889. The monument to the members of the organization is in Albany Rural
Cemetery, Albany NY. See also BRRT
which may be another version from the same organization.

This version of the flagholder is very common in various
colors. |
I have seen fewer BRT flagholders of this pattern, but
it matches the insignia on the monument (see below). |
