San Francisco Fireman's badge

[Dreams]

This is one of the coolest things that I have ever dug! It came from a demo site where I found a 1898 Barber dime and a 1900 IHP a couple of weeks ago.

The back is plain but it had a pin attached at one time. I will try to figure out how to post a photo. It measures 1 3/4' wide by 2 1/4" long.
