Now here is a neat piece of history, even if it isn't a badge.
This is an "Official Warning Ticket" that was used by Officers of the POLICE DIVISION 0f the Department of Public Safety. This "Warning" was authorized by John A Brady who served as Assistant Supervisor of Public Safety. That means he was the Chief's boss.
It is estimated that this "Warning" dates back to 1950 +/-. It is in very good condition.The ticket is 3.5 inches by 7.0 inches on printed on a heavy manila paper. The word "Warning" is centered so you can't miss it in bold (half inch) black letters.
When I worked in Essex County I obtained a few pieces of Newark paper on my windshield. I never saw the word warning on any of those tickets, but then I never saw the signs that read "No Parking." Those things are just bad memories, but this one is a nice piece of history that I am pleased to have along with other Newark items.
