Help Research Texas Commemorative Badge

[Ed-D]

I found this badge commemorating the Texas Centennial recently, but cannot find anything on it online. I'd love to know where these were sold or used.

It obviously is the state of Texas. On the front it has Texas Centennial 1836-1936 with a likeness of Sam Houston. The back has a manufacturers stamp and the best I can tell it reads as follows:

Made By
?? Badge Co
Chicago, Ill.
Des. Pat 94428 (it could be 94426??)
Jan. 26, 1935

Very good. Looks like a ribbon of some kind. I wonder who would have worn it? Law enforcement, or a politician?

I have this same badge and was wanting to find out the value and history. Mine is in great condition. Made by AM Badge Co. Chicago, Ill. DES PAT. 94426 Jan. 29,1935. Any suggestions where I can get this information?

There's a link above that gives some specs etc. But no idea about value.
