This is a Special Installment of Special Deputy Sheriff's in New Jersey, because I recently obtained this badge from another Collector.
The County featured in this post is Middlesex County. It measures 2.00" by 1.125". I estimate this historical piece to date back to the 1950's. The State Seal is an indicator of its age - reverse lettering in a Blue Ring surrounding a gold tone Seal.
The large ring on the face of this badge, also with reversed blue letters, has the words: SPECIAL DEPUTY SHERIFF, MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
Of particular interest on this badge is the panel located at the top. It carries the name Dr Robert B. Walker. I could not find any biographical information on the doctor with connections to the Sheriff or Middlesex County (1999) I gave his name a good search and found no relevant data.
Today this "new" acquisition takes it place as part of my collection of Special Deputy Sheriff's Badges in New Jersey. I am quite happy to have all of them as part of my life long hobby.
