Great, Huge, 1920's Auto Badge for an Under Sheriff of Rensselaer County, New York

Great, huge 1920's automobile badge for an Under Sheriff of Rensselaer County, New York. The center of the nickeled and painted bronze badge features the New York State Seal in the center against a red oval disc in nice raised detail. The automobile badge reads: "UNDER SHERIFF RENSSELAER COUNTY, N.Y." in red painted detail. The term 'Under Sheriff' is an antiquated term and 'Deputy Sheriff' is now the common nomenclature.

Circa 1920's

Approximately 6-1/2" x 10-1/2"

Nickeled and painted bronze, brass mounting bracket

Brass mounting bracket, screws

None.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MDCX15 LAFEX12/15 SeVBBEX9/16

6+ (Fine—Very Fine): The automobile badge shows moderate to heavy wear, much of the nickeled and painted details remain intact.

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