VINTAGE SHERIFF BADGE

[mariposagold]

I found this beauty in my most hunted lot yesterday. It was made by the Los Angeles Rubber Stamp Co. Sometime in the late teens to early twenties.

Deputy Sheriff Merced County. Woo Hoo. First Badge.

I Just realized, the is a PROHIBITION ERA BADGE. This badge could have seen some serious action and/or corruption. If I were a drinking man, I'd have a Celebratory drink right now.
