Bart Style
Bendix Kansas CityCurrent issue.
No stone. Probably 5 years of service.
One green stone. Unknown years of service. This pin was also issued with one blue or one red stone.
Two white stones. Unknown years of service.
Set including all three styles: Drop, Square, and Bart. I assume these were all awarded to one person, and so this would make the stones progress like this: Green - 10 years, blue - 15 years, white - 20 years.
If we pretend that one of the red single stone Bart pins doesn't exist, or that they are both 15 year pins, or I'm wrong, then this becomes simpler. My best guess:
Stone Color No. of Stones Years of Service NA 0 5 Green 1 10 Blue 1 15 Red 1 ?? White 1 20 White 2 25 White 3 (one large) 30
