Kaleb, your badge is an awesome piece of Decatur city history. Can you post a photo of the back? Is there a hallmark on the reverse? Happy Hunting, Sub

Hi Kaleb, Based on the style and construction of your badge, specifically the "C" catch on the back, it is safe to say that it was used 1920's-1940's. I know some research with a historian at DFD or your local library (historical phone books-which used to list names, addresses, and occupations) will help you solve who wore it and lost it! Happy Hunting, Sub
