ARTIFACT: This is an early World War II worker identification badge for the South Portland Shipbuilding Corporation in South Portland, Maine. The sleepy little community of South Portland underwent a sea change with the advent of World War II: two shipyards were built there within two years. The South Portland Shipbuilding Corporation, also known as the "West Yard", started in 1941, following the Todd-Bath Iron ("East") Yard formed a year earlier. Both yards steamed along until 1943, when they merged into the New England Shipbuilding Corporation. The badge is by Whitehead & Hoag.

VINTAGE: Circa early World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 1-3/4" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Plated brass, celluloid, paper, photograph.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical safety-style pin.

MARKINGS: WHITEHEAD - HOAG.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a war worker collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VCEX11 LHEX3/12 SGEX05/22

CONDITION: 7- (Very Fine-): The badge has some areas of light to medium wear and tarnish and the photo and celluloid show spots of aging.

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