Am I seeing this right

[cheech]

I've been doing some research on this factory worker employee badge the only one I could find says it's sold for $715 can anybody give me some more information on this badge I really appreciate it. If I got this right I believe Tucker was a car manufacture around wwII

One of the more interesting features was that the center headlight turned with the steering.

I wouldn't part with it for under a grand, it's the perfect combo of super rare and very desirable to collectors. Nice find! Where'd you pick it up?

 

[cheech]

Maybe going to be a keeper I Am wondering how many still exist I'll see if I can put it on a car form

What do you mean by oops? Because it was found at an estate or garage sale it's not a great find anymore?

I Kinda pick them up at in the state sale I had somebody that was cleaning out an estate and had the opportunity to purchase a bunch of costume jewelry so I did and I found this among the costume jewelry

Does anyone have a link to a good car form that I can post this to can't seem to find one thank you

Yes, please tell use what you mean by oops? Where did you go? Oh I know you must be busy congratulating someone on finding their first wheat penny.

Really amazing find, congrats! True piece of history.

On another note, this made me laugh out loud.

I'd say go here but they want $35 for a year membership. The Tucker Automobile Club of America
I did find an example that looks like yours as opposed to the blue enameled one that sold for $715 plus buyer's premium in 2010. CadillacNews.com I wouldn't take less than a grand either as someone else already mentioned. They had 725 employees or so in 1947. Don't know if all were issued badges though.

Yes I seen those two and those are the only ones I've seen online that were pictured that's why I was curious how many they might be I think I have a car museum by me I'll take it there this weekend if I get a chance to and if I do I will give y'all an update thank you for all the information but I'll never come across another one so I think I'm going to keep this one

I was just thinking that. Put a face and what they did to that pin and the sale price might go even higher.
