ARTIFACT:
This is a Awesome Ca 1930 Shawano County Wisconsin Traffic Police Badge. This badge was worn at the county level, before the Wisconsin State Patrol was formed. Early, Pre Wisconsin State Patrol County Level Traffic Enforcement Badge under Shawano Co.'s Highway Department.
Huge Old Gilt Brass Circle Cut-Out Star shield with Eagle Top. The badge was constructed from 2 separate pieces, the eagle being produced separately from the shield, and then the 2 pieces were soldered or braised togetehr.
