Rare Early Style 1910s-1920s Atlantic City, New Jersey Special Detective Badge by Robbins

This is a rare circa 1910s or 1920s Atlantic City, New Jersey Special Detective badge in the early style. The badge is in a riveted construction and was made by Robbins Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. This badge just glows, and shows no evidence of the grift and grime the detective may have encountered doing his duty in the gambling mecca. The center of the badge shows the Seal of the State of New Jersey in relief with a double enameled border in dark blue and white encircling it.

Circa 1910s-1920s.

Approximately 1-3/4" in height and 1-7/16" in width.

Gilt brass, enamel.

Vertical pin with half-cock type catch.

Robbins Co. Attleboro Mass.

This is from an old New Jersey police and law enforcement badge collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. MAJJX14 LCGEX5/14 SBIJX5/16

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