Great 1930s-1940s Madison Square Garden Special Security Officer Badge

This is a circa 1930s-1940s special officer (security) badge for Madison Square Garden in New York City. This badge dates to the third incarnation of the Garden, which existed from 1925 until 1968, when it was rebuilt. It was the first Garden to be built outside of Madison Square itself, and was erected instead within Hell's Kitchen. The badge is numbered 303.

Circa 1930s-1940s.

Approximately 2-1/2" in height and 1-13/16" in width.

Chrome-plated brass with painted areas.

Two brackets with small holes.

None.

This is from a police badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MEJL96 LBGEX2/12 SBEJX2/12

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge shows some light abrasions with some small spots of paint worn away.

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