Earlier this year I obtained my third Newark Director Badge. I posted a single picture of it a few weeks ago. I was quite proud of that Badge and informed everyone about the "Blue Stars." This was the work of H Buchlien & Co who had the commission to make this badge.
Following that original Post I presented the newest addition along with two other Newark Directors that I have had for decades. I had a thought of making a display of just the three Director Badges, but I ultimately thought putting them with the other rank badges, as pictured above, makes the best sense.
Above you will see two Director Badges, with the Blue Stars, to the Right of the top row. On the bottom row, also to the Right, is the current version of the Director Badge. It is without Blue Stars.
What is most important, as one looks at the Director Badges is to realize that the two rows are Rank Sets. That represents a lifetime collecting and obtaining this fine grouping.
There are perhaps 40-50 years between some of these badges of the same rank. Of course some are much newer. It is the fact that they are a two fine sets that makes me mighty proud.
It goes without saying that these badges are in a wood and glass display that is LOCKED. The case hangs in my Den where, without fail, I view it every day.
