ARTIFACT: This is a circa 1880s-1890s New York State licensed detective badge made of nickel. The badge shows the version of the state's seal that New York used through 1883, but badges themselves were still made with the older seal for at least a decade or so after the new seal was adopted. The badge is numbered 229 and came to us along with a similar badge in gilt brass that is sold separately.

VINTAGE: Circa 1880s-1890s.

SIZE: Approximately 2-7/8" in height and 1-3/4" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Nickel, enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical kick pin with tubular catch.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a detective badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX11 LDGEX9/11 TRDJJX3/13

CONDITION: 6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The badge shows some areas of moderate wear and tarnish and has some small spots of oxidation.

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