MUNICIPALS - "B" IS FOR BAYONNE


Finally I have caught up with that ever changing word "All". It looks like , for now, I have addressed my City Collection. Every Badge that I have obtained over the last forty years that fits the category of "City" has been presented along with appropriate pictures. As of now there are 31 on display, representing 25 different N.J. Cities,  and that represents "My All."

Now it is time to address those that I have put in a monster display case for muni's.  This group may even have a "City" that I chose not to include with the others. I'll start with the letter "B" which is for Bayonne.

As luck would have it the first badge is from a City. This particular badge is a Special Police Officer' Badge. In the City Collection I tried to stay away from "specials."

This item is silver tone. It is an old badge with an eagle on top. Lettering is recessed with black fill.

The Seal on this item is very interesting. The center piece is a Ship on the Water. This is the City Seal of Bayonne. On newer badges the State Seal is what is being used.

This old badge is available for trade. For the time being it is number one in my Municipal Display.   If anyone is interested in it send an email.
