Description

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.
