    It’s not much but why not?

    I read an article about a near forgotten town and looked it up on the PC via Google World. Noted a street called Park. The wife and I drove over to check it out and found a small public park and ball field!
    A quick look around and I didn’t see any previous MD activity. Hmmmm!!!

    Then yesterday I was there bright and early with great expectations….... I spent around 3+ hours cleaning out the 1 or 2 remaining pull tabs, a few rusty pop caps and this Junior Police badge that ID’d as a screw cap at 4”.

    The poor old badge turned out to be very fragile. 1950s I figure. At the time it went in the junk side of my apron. Then today as I was looking it over I got to thinking what the heck, why not!

    So a little cleaning and some Super Glue and here it is.

    Great detective work following the hunch about a street called "Park". That really is good thinking. Nice find to reward your research.

    peace,

    Very cool find! Little piece of history! Some kid probably wore that proudly while playing cops and robbers!
