TRIPLETS: THREE NEWARK DIRECTOR BADGES

A few weeks ago I displayed my newest Newark Badge. It was a Directors Shield with five "Blue Stars." I was thrilled to have this Badge and related how it was 50 years of age plus or minus. I let everyone know that this Badge was created by H. Buchlien & Son in Newark. They were artists' with their work.

What I did not mention in the earlier Post was that this Badge was my "third" Director's shield. Getting one only took 45 years. Now with 60 years collecting I have "three." 

The newest badge does not have the "Blue Stars." It was made by Blackington Co. Other then the Stars, these badges are triplets by rank. 

I took the above picture thinking that this would make a great display, but I am still thinking about what I want to do. I'll post another story about these badges down the road. For now I hope you enjoy the picture.
