You are bidding on a wonderful vintage IBM Special Service Badge (#75) for the Poughkeepsie NY office. The Special Service position is not a physical security position, rather a designation for someone who works on infrastructure or runs diagnostics. It certainly has a fair amount of age and is obsolete, as people don't wear badges at corporations any more...at least ones that can't be scanned with a computer. A really wonderful item and perfect for any IBM fan. It measures 2" x 2 1/2".

I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail to ensure quick delivery although size/weight can often be a deterrent due to a balloon fee on boxes over a certain size. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. In simplest terms, I ship priority mail unless it is a book (then I ship using media mail) or if the item is bigger than a breadbox or heavier than 5 lbs (unless I can fit it in a flat rate box). I'm also open to local pick-up at my home in Fairhaven.

I've been selling on Ebay since 1998 but this is not a full time job. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, and other unusual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
