A Is for ATLANTIC CITY.This is a City Addition that was acquired recently and it fits very nice with the other badges from the well known City by the Atlantic Ocean.
I have three badges from the place made famous by the Steel Pier, and the Little White House. Those Steak Sandwiches were great.
Around 1980 the Casino's came to town and everything, at least everything on the Boardwalk changed. The buildings were, and still are, huge. The theme has been said to be: "Brass, Glass, and Crass." I guess that is still true.
All the years that I spent going to conventions of one kind or another I never really got a biggie from A.C. In fact I never obtained a badge from this City's' P.D. until after moving to sunny Florida. Retirement is good.
In size the above pictured badge is far from a biggie. It is a small badge that appears to be genuine gold plate with blue letters. It reads: "Special Detective, Atlantic City, #22.
I am very pleased to have this badge. I let it remind me of the Boardwalk, and some Poor Old Horse jumping off a platform, on the Steel Pier, into the Atlantic Ocean. These are just some GREAT MEMORIES that go with the collection.
