SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF: CUMBERLAND COUNTY

 

This is the Third Installment of  Special Deputy Sheriff's in New Jersey. The County featured in this post is CUMBERLAND COUNTY. This County is so far South you could (Not Really) have a nice swim across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. 

Somehow I got lucky and obtained both of these badges for my display. They are the smallest trinkets in the collection. They measures 1.25" by 1.00". 

There are two panels and a ring on the face of this badge, with recessed letters. The enamel fill is still in good shape with the very visible words:    SPECIAL,  DEPUTY SHERIFF,  CUMBERLAND CO,  NJ.

At Center Point is a Seal of the State of New Jersey. The seal has the same silver tone plating as the full badge. I estimate this rare piece to date back to the 1950's. I have had it about thirty years. 

Despite its' age these badges are in excellent condition. They are under glass with their brothers in this Special Deputy Collection. It hangs on the wall in my Den where I see it every day. I am very glad to have it.
