Cool Old 1920s-1930s Southern Prison Co., San Antonio, Texas Worker Badge

This is a cool old circa 1920s or 1930s worker badge for the Southern Prison Company of San Antonio, Texas. Southern Prison Co. built Rikers Island in 1930, and is still in business as Southern Folger. The badge is shield-shaped and numbered 158 at center: this is the lowest number I've seen for sale of this badge. The pin on reverse is a period replacement.

Circa 1920s-1930s.

Approximately 1-11/16" in height and 1-3/8" in width.

Plated brass.

Vertical safety pin (period replacement).

158 on front.

This is from an old Texas prison-related badge collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. PBEM13 LAFEX3/14 SAFEX8/14

7- (Very Fine-): The badge has some moderate wear; pin is a period replacement.

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