2018 A BRAND NEW YEAR: THE SEARCH CONTINUES

The year 2017 was pretty good... This was the first badge ever issued. My search for one continues.

My primary collection of NEWARK OLDIES has grown. I have eight oldies that are the best of my Newark Collection. They are pictured here.

The two C93 badges are a matching set. This is a "Chanceman's" badge, which means rookie or probationary officer. It is quite rare.
The #175 badges are a matching set from 1890-1900. I am very satisfied to have a second Newark "Radiator" in my collection.
These early 1900's Lieutenant and Sergeant badges make up the remainder of my "Top Eight." Both have original gold tone finish and were phased out in the mid-1950s.

Well in 2018, with your help, I will acquire that Newark Star. While I wait for it, I will keep telling you stories.
