This is the last of my Marshal Collection (Part IV).
My first one is from Union Township. That's a nice community in Union County near Newark, and on the road to NYC. It's hard to believe they used marshals. This one is a classic eagle on an oval, and despite the lack of luster it is in fine condition. Note the very large NJ State Seal at center point. This dates back to 1920-30's It is a is quite a nice piece of history.
Wallington Borough is the second marshal badge shown here. The municipality had its origin back in 1894. This badge was probably introduced in the early 1900's. It too is an eagle over a quite different oval. It also carries the large State Seal, and a number box -"4". In location this Bergen County community is very close to NYC. Roughly 11,000 people there today, at least sleeping there at night.
You can tell I am getting near the end of the alphabet with this one. It hails from Wood-Ridge, NJ. This too was created as a Borough in 1894. The place has 8000 souls residing here in what is said to be a very nice community. The badge seems to be a newer version of the eagle over oval. It has an excellent finish and State Seal.
My last item is another "W." It comes from Woodcliff Lake. It is that stones throw from Manhattan all over again with this badge. Located in Bergen County, near a reservoir, it has a population of 5000 or so. The shape on this one is very different. The eagle still flies on top of a smaller version of the traditional NY-NJ badge. It looks nice. Note there is no seal at all on this one, but there is a number at center point - 10.
I am still trying to learn all I can about NJ marshals and certainly would like to add a few more. Time will tell. For now I am pleased with those presented here over the last few weeks. Hope you all enjoyed looking at them.
