speed gibson flying police badge

[B|lker]

Early 1900`s Speed Gibson Flying Police badge.
From a TV show, which from what i`ve been able to find out was sponsored by bread company`s.

Haven`t been able to locate a pic of the badge i found. or able to read the second word of Butter ? master loaf
Mine is definitely copper, not tin as my research has shown they were made of.

Any one have a pic, info on the bread name or know of the date it may have been used?
Thanks for any dirt you, all share with me on this one.


also found on site a 52d and 25 wheats
The buckle i haven`t figured out yet but it looks like it had black lettering on the tongue.

Thanks for the pic DevilDog i think the date for that one is 1937.
I was hoping mine was one of a kind if no one has seen one like it

Speed Gibson was on the radio from 1937-1940 (178 episodes) and was sponsored by a lot of bread companies:

Though the pinbacks aren't the same as the badge you found, it's just to show the many bread companies involved in the promos. In fact, all the memorabilia relating to Speed Gibson's adventures (except for one lone cereal-sponsored premium) were bread related...
