CCC Camp Badge

[Mike Wayson]

Ok everybody I have one for you. A few years ago while detecting I uncovered what I would call a CCC Camp Badge. It is in the shape of an oval, about 1 1/2 " long and 1" high with a attachment pin on the back. I believe it is made out of brass. On the face it has 3 - C (CCC) and it also shows 3 or 4 trees behind the C's. It also has a service number or something like that under the C's. I have never seen or heard of anyone finding one before and I would just like some info on it.
Thanks for the help

Mike

Its probally the Civilian Conservation Corps. Part of the New Deal in the 1930s.

Agreed, there were many different badges/pins but all had a similar theme, the 3 c`s and pine trees.
The number you see could be a company number.
