Early WWII Era Midvale Steel (Philadelphia) Worker's Photo ID Badge

This is a circa early World War II worker photo identification badge from Midvale Steel at Nicetown, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In operation from 1867 to 1976, Midvale specialized in durable metal alloys used for applications such as military machinery and automobiles. The badge is numbered 331 and shows that the employee's photo was taken on August 21, 1940.

This is from a war worker collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MBJX12 LFJX11/12 SFJX10/13

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge shows some light buckling of the cellophane and aging to the photograph.

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