Fantastic 1900s Old West Esmeralda Co NV Deputy Sheriff 6 pt Star Badge by LARSCO

This is a great Old West circa 1900's Esmeralda County, Nevada Deputy Sheriff 6-point Star Badge by Los Angeles Rubber Stamp Company and has the company's three-line maker mark on back. The county was known for its gold mining, so we'll assume this Deputy Sheriff had his hands full at the start of the 20th Century, especially in the County Seat of Goldfield, or in any of the more than a Dozen old mining communities that are now Ghost Towns: Gold Point, Lida, McLeans, Millers, & Palmetto to name a few. 

Circa 1900s.

Approximately: 2-3/16" in height x 1-7/8" in width.

Nickel-plated nickel with painted lettering, and nickel-plated brass pin & saddle.

Vertical one-piece pin with rectangular saddle.

This is from a police and law enforcement badge collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. MCEJX14 LADGEX2/14 SGEJX5/15, VAACBM21 LBDGEX06/30/21 SAACBX06/02/23, MECEV25 LBGGEM05/19/25

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge shows moderate wear, and abrasion on front at 7 o'clock and light patina on back. Overall, Very Fine Plus condition.

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