It only takes a lifetime to obtain a really great Badge for the Collection. Just recently I obtained a Newark Radiator in Excellent condition. It is the third radiator that I have. It is pictured below on proudly shows off its' number "11" directly on top of this beautiful shield from my home town. A banner, with the words "NEWARK POLICE," runs from bottom left to top right across the front of the Badge. The front and Rear of this Badge are directly below.
The Radiator in Newark was in use starting in the late 1890's to 1914 when the current issue was introduced.
As stated above I had two other radiators prior to obtaining Number "11" above. Pictured below are the others in my collection. Both have matching Hat Badges.
The first pictures below are of a matching set (breast badge & hat badge). They are numbered "175". There are not many "Sets" still around. That is why I treasure both of them.
The Radiator below is in Excellent condition and is Rare to see. It is also a matching set. It is numbered "C- 93".
Anyone know what the "C" stood for? I'll tell you about that "C" in September. For now just enjoy the pictures.
