This is a named badge and is so marked: Albert Sands Jr. It measures 1.00" by 0.75".
I estimate this historical piece to date back to the 1950's. The "Blue" behind the State Seal is an indicator of this badge's age.
There are two panels on the face of this badge, with recessed letters. The enamel fill is still in good shape. The panels are above and below the large ring with the words: DEPUTY SHERIFF, WARREN CO. The panels show the "name," and the abbreviation of the State or "N.J.".
I could find "No History" on Albert Jr, however it appears he comes from a prominent family in Phillipsburg N.J. His father however was a very successful business man owning a Textile Factory, restaurants and even a Bank - a far cry from Law Enforcement.
Despite its' age this badge is in decent (good) condition. It is under glass, in a nice oak display case, with the other members of my Special Deputy Collection. Of course I am very glad to have it.
