Lovely 1930's Kenilworth, NJ Fire Dept Ex. Chief Badge.

This is a lovely 1930's Kenilworth, NJ, Fire Department Chief Badge. This gold filled badge, by S. H. Reese is sized for a lapel or wallet. A badge from this time with the S. H. Reese maker's mark is fairly rare to find.

Circa 1930's's

Approximately 1-3/8" x 1

1/20 10K Gold filled brass

Vertical pin with broken locking swivel catch

Obverse: "EX. CHIEF. FIRE DEPT. KELINWORTH, N.J. Reverse: "1/20 10K GOLD FILLED. S.H. REESE

This is from a Fire Chief Badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MDV12 LFJX02/17

5+ (Fine-): The brass is wearing through the gold on the higher parts of the badge, and the catch is missing it's locking mechanism.

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