1940s City of University Heights, OH Special Police Badge w/Maker Mark

This is a circa 1940s special police badge from the City of University Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. In fact, the badge is very similar in style to one made for the Cleveland Police Department. This badge is in brass with a heavy silver plate and has a maker mark on reverse. It is numbered 24.

Circa 1940s.

Approximately 2-3/4" in height and 2-1/4" in width.

Brass with a heavy silver plate.

Vertical pin on bar with come-under locking swivel catch.

A. KEMPF (KEMPE?) mark on lower banner (reverse of badge); PAT. number on bar.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. RCJL13 LACEX5/13 SAAJX1/15

6+ (Fine-Very Fine-): The badge has some areas of moderate wear and tarnish.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
