Unique Ca 1913 Badges & Photo of 1st Patrol Driver San Antonio Texas City Police

This is a small grouping, circa 1913, of Badges & a period Photograph of San Antonio City Police Police Patrol Driver #1, Edwin L. Andersen. Andersen is pictured behind the wheel of San Antonio's first motorized Police Patrol vehicle (AKA Paddy Wagon) in the photograph, which has a much later plate attributing it to 1917, but as Andersen's own hand dates the badge to 1913, the photograph could be earlier. 

Circa 1913.
