Beautiful & Minty 1930's Hartford, CT Metropolitan District Commissioner Badge

Beautiful and minty 1930's Hartford, Connecticut Metropolitan District badge in heavy 10K gold fill by Savitt's of Hartford. The lovely embellished badge features is a blue enameled disc at the center which reads: "INCORPORATED 1929 SEAL" and a white enamel ring surrounding it reads: "THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT HARTFORD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT" and is embellished with a nice rope detail. The top of the badge shows a blue enameled scroll/banner that reads: "COMMISSIONER" and below: "METROPOLITAN DISTRICT" on raised gold fill with blue enamel detail. It is probable that this badge belonged to George A. Wardinski who was also Fire & Aviation Commissioner of Hartford at one time as it came from the same source.

Circa 1930's.

Approximately 1-7/8" x 1-1/2".
