Wonderful 1900s-1910s Superior, Arizona Police Badge Old West Mining Town

This is a wonderful circa early 1900s or 1910s Superior, Arizona police badge. Superior was a classic Old West mining town at the foot of the Superstition Mountains! Superior initially had been a place called Pinal, visited by the likes of Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. But the outpost was abandoned after a little over a decade once it had been stripped of its ore. It was officially re-established in 1902 and renamed Superior, and became a town in its own right. The badge is a six-pointed star and is numbered 21.

Circa early 1900s-1910s.

Approximately 2" in height and 1-3/4" in width.

Nickel-plated nickel with steel saddle, nickel-plated brass pin.

Vertical safety-style pin with C catch, saddle.

21 on front.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. TRVAEJXEJX13 LBBEJX7/13 SEJX12/13

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge has some light wear with an old repair to the pin.

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