The above Badge is like a cardiac pace maker. It just makes my blood go strong, my face smile from ear to ear, and my heart pound. I want to yell, "Yes, it's mine"
First of all this is not the current style badge for the DIRECTOR. They do almost look alike, but the difference is at the top. Look under the Eagle and you will see Five Stars. The current badge has Silver Stars. On my badge the stars are Blue.
Still there is more to the Blue Stars. They actually have their blue trimmed with another star running along the edges, and back along the sides, meeting at the center. This is truly a work of art. That makes me think this Badge was made by Buchlien & Sons, some 50+/- years ago.
I got it from another collector who had it for over 20 years. We both believe it was taken into retirement by the person holding the office of Director in the last millennium before entering the Collectors World.
I consider myself very fortunate to have this item in my displays. It certainly will be given the respect that it deserves. Collectors Dream.
