Junior "G" Man

Re: Junior "G" Man
The badge dates from the 1930's, about the time of Post Cereals' "Junior G-Man Corps" promotions featuring former FBI agent Melvin Purvis. However, I'm not sure whether it's one of the actual Post premiums, or one of the dime store toy badges issued to capitalize on the G-Man craze.
