ARTIFACT: 1950's - 1960's Mississippi State Motor Vehicle Comptroller Badge. The raised center of the badge displays the state seal in nice relief detail and a blue enameled ring surrounding reads: "STATE OF MISSISSIPPI". The badge is topped with a spread winged, bowed head eagle and the base of the badge is numbered: "73", the center reads: "MOTOR VEHICLE COMPTROLLER" in blue lettering detail.


A retired emploee of the agency tells me that the number on the badge most likely indicates that the original wearer was a Truck Scale Operator. 

VINTAGE: Circa 1950's – 1960's.

SIZE: Approximately 1 - 5/8" x 1 - 1/4".

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Chrome plated brass, enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical pin with drop in locking swivel catch.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEX15 LAFEX9/15 SAFEX05/19

CONDITION: 6+ (Fine—Very Fine): The badge shows minor to moderate wear, much of the plating and enamel details remain intact.

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