These beautiful 14k gold badges were made by the Roulet Co. Toledo. The badge on the left was presented on February 3, 1923 by the police department and friends. The 14k gold badge on the right was presented on July 31, 1918 by his Syrian friends.
Early Toledo badge, nicknamed the "Canal Boat" shield. 3" in height makes this the 2nd issue, and based on the number 170 it was probably issued in the 1870's and was in use up until June 30, 1909. Thanks to Mike Ackley.
