The 1938 Radio Orphan Annie "Telematic" brass decoder badge is worth $25 in good condition, and $60 in fine condition, according to a recent (2006) edition of the Official Hake's Price Guide to Character Toys by Ted Hake.

1938 decoder badge

Hey everyone,
I'm Andy and I'm new as of today. I was out at a school built in 1910 with my detector and I dug up the same 1938 decoder badge. It's not that shiny considering it's been in the ground for nearly 80 years. What's crazy is that it still works. I was doing research on it and I found this place and thought I'd sign up and share

Hey everyone...

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Dgyandy! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - people may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...
