Badge help

[feral-silence]

Went out to an early 1900s home site this morning and found this guy along with a 1904 IHP. I can't find anything on it at all. I'm sure it's a kid's novelty badge as it's stamped, but I'm curious about the date. Any of you guys have any thoughts or ideas?

Perhaps a Fireman's Carnival prize or a fire safety prize?

The fact that it has the “state of GA” on it makes me think it wasn’t just a toy but issued by an actual program.

A home fire occurs every 90 seconds in the U.S. and children are the most vulnerable. That’s why for 70-plus years and counting, our Junior Fire Marshal program has been at the forefront of fire safety education, deputizing more than 110 million children since its inception — turning everyday kids into everyday heroes.

I think Creskol got it. I know I never saw one and I started work at the Fire Department in 1975.

Thanks guys. I see 30s and 60s, but I'm going to have to believe it's probably from the 60s.

I truly appreciate everyone here. You guys are the best. Thanks again for all of the help!

Bring that badge by the office one afternoon, I'd like to see it in person.
