ARTIFACT: This is a circa 1920s employee badge by Whitehead & Hoag for Fairchild Airplane Manufacturing Corporation of Farmingdale, New York. Sherman Fairchild, the corporation's founder, was rejected by the Army for World War I service because of his poor health. Undaunted, he instead began building planes that would accommodate his technologically-advanced aerial cameras, which were accepted and purchased by the Army. The airplane manufacturing branch of Fairchild's venture had a Canadian subsidiary, Fairchild Aircraft Ltd. The badge is numbered 112 on the front.

VINTAGE: Circa 1920s.

SIZE: Approximately 1-1/8" in height and 1-9/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Plated brass with enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Horizontal pin with drop-in locking swivel catch.

MARKINGS: THE WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO. NEWARK, N.J.

ITEM NOTES: This is from an aviation company collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX12 LCGEX2/12 SCJG/EJX3/12

CONDITION: 7+ (Very Fine+): The badge has some very light abrasions and wear to the enamel.

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