ARTIFACT: This is a 1890's - 1900's Uniontown Pennsylvania Police Detective Badge in Gilt Brass. Possibly Worn during the Bituminous Coal Miners Strike of 1894. Most of the Light Gold Plate Has Been worn off of the observe of the Badge.

The bituminous coal miners' strike was an unsuccessful national eight-week strike by miners of bituminous coal in the United States, which began on April 21, 1894. The panic of 1893 hit the coal mining industry particularly hard. Wage cuts in the industry began immediately, and wages were slashed again in early 1894. 

VINTAGE: 1890s - 1900s.

SIZE: Approximately 2-3/4" in height x 2-1/8" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Brass.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical pin with tang-style 'C' catch.

MARKINGS: N/A.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. PJP23 LFGEX06/16/23

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The badge shows moderate wear, and nice patina.

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