The above badge was recently acquired from a collector in Washington DC.
He had a couple of Trenton Badges, as do I. Getting this item enables me to remove one that does not sparkle like this one. Now I have two in the display, and one for sale or trade.
The addition has the Trenton City Seal in the center. It is a stamped figure of a "horse head" on top of a shield. Around this seal it reads: Trenton City Police. At the bottom is #53. There is a functioning "C" catch, on the rear, with pin.
It is estimated that this fine badge dates back to late 1800's to early 1900. It didn't take long to do the picture, put it in custody, and lock it up under glass where I can see it everyday.
