bayonetman Posted September 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2009 Still working on cleaning out my odds and ends from 50 years of collecting US Militaria. Ran into this badge and thought some of you might find it of interest. This badge was worn by workers in the Eddystone Rifle Plant in World War One to gain admittance to the plant - an early version of the ID Badge. I have been told that other versions of this badge exist - do any of you have any that you might show? It is fairly small - about 1 3/8 inches (3.7 cm) top to bottom.

Mr-X Posted September 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2009 This is awesome. :w00t: Just what you need to display with your Eddystone. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted September 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2009 I like it. Attractive piece! I have a couple WW I era pieces and several WW II badges. Most WW II one's have the photo. A local forge and foundry had solid brass pins with numbers in WW II because photo badges couldn't stand the heat of the foundry. I wonder if your example was worn by a Government inspector. Because the pin says Government Property. Inspectors were government employees so they could not be pressured to pass substandard items. If you are selling this I would be interested.
