The 1938 Radio Orphan Annie "Telematic" brass decoder badge is worth $25 in good condition, and $60 in fine condition, according to a recent (2006) edition of the Official Hake's Price Guide to Character Toys by Ted Hake.

1938 decoder badge

Hey everyone,
I'm Andy and I'm new as of today. I was out at a school built in 1910 with my detector and I dug up the same 1938 decoder badge. It's not that shiny considering it's been in the ground for nearly 80 years. What's crazy is that it still works. I was doing research on it and I found this place and thought I'd sign up and share

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Dgyandy! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile.

You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - people may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...
