SEARCHING FOR MORE BADGES

My Wife says I have enough Badges in my Collection and need to "downsize." I told her I would, but also sneaked a couple new Badges here and there. I never stopped asking friends and family to be on the lookout for badges in their travels. On occasion I was rewarded.

A few weeks ago my Grandson was sent to California for duty relating to the forest fires in that State. He is in the US Coast Guard (National Strike Force). Naturally I sent him an Order to: "Hunt for Badges." He sent me this picture, and claims he searched high and low for Badges, but couldn't locate anything for me.

Well He is safely back home, and I am still telling the Wife that I am downsizing, while on the hunt for more Badges continues - especially from New Jersey.

 

SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF: CAMDEN

 

The picture above is a new addition to this collection. It came to me all the way from Kentucky where I obtained it from a longtime collector in the Lexington area. It becomes the 12th badge in this collection of: "SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF"S."

The original home of this fine badge was Camden County N.J. This county is know primarily for the City of Camden. That is the County Seat and location of the Sheriff's Office. This is a high crime area for sure, but it is also surrounded by some nice locations like Cherry Hill, or along the Delaware River.

The River played a major role in this county's history. Camden was a major ship building location. During World War II this industry reach its peak building ships for the War effort, including Air Craft Carriers, Battle Ships and Light Cruisers.       

This badge measures 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches. At the center point is a multicolor New Jersey State Seal. 

The overall color of this badge is gold tone. It has recessed, black enamel filled lettering. It reads: Sheriff's Dept, Special Deputy, Camden County. 

I always hope to find other "Special Deputy" Badges to join my collection so If you have one to sell or possibly trade write me at:

SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF: SOMERSET COUNTY

This is the Eleventh and final installment on my "SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF'S" collection.

The focus in this post is the above pictured badge from Somerset County, NJ.   Somerset is a fine county with very nice residential areas as well as semi-rural areas.

Pictured above is a 2.25" x 1.25" Badge plated in gold tone. The State Seal is also plated in a goldtone finish. The Seal helps identify the badge's age which I would say is around the 1940-50's.

Engraved around the State Seal in a ring are the words: DEPUTY SHERIFF, SOMERSET CO, N.J. Just above the ring is a panel with the word: SPECIAL. The letters are Black enamel fill.

While this is the last of these badges that I have in this collection there is always hope that others will join the group. If you have one to sell or possibly trade write me at:

SOMERDALE BOSSMAN OR THE COMMISSIONER

This is a recent acquisition that I thought would be a fit in my New Jersey Chief's Collection. It isn't a Chief, but in most cases a Commissioner will do.

Prior to purchasing this Badge I never heard of Somerdale. Research shows this town bills itself as "The Crossroads for Southern New Jersey," in Camden County." While I am familiar with that county I still never heard of Somerdale.

The Municipality is but a dot on the map. It is technically a Borough Form of Government. Population is around 5500.

The Community is less then 1.50 Sq. Miles in size should one be interested in this geographical measurement.

The Badge, pictured above, is Blue Lettering on a Gold Tone panel. In the Center there is a State of N.J. Seal. It is about the size of a dime. It has a blue ring with the words: "State of New Jersey" circling the Seal. This type Seal was used in 1940's through 1950's. 

The rear of this item has a Pin and Locking Catch on a solid back. There are no makers marks or other identifiers on this shield.  

Bottomline on this very nice Badge is that it will fit in my Collection, and I am glad to have it. I also enjoy showing it off to Collector friends. Hope you like it.
