Item Description
First is 2-3/16" tall embossed brass badge inscribed "Junior G Men Of America" along with serial number "45177." We do not know the issuer. One small tarnish mark but NM luster. Rare. Second and in the same shape as the first is the badge inscribed "Raybestos G-P Man." The company is known for automobile brake parts. We do not know what the letters "G-P" stand for. NM luster and also 1930s. Third badge is 1.25" tall of somewhat heavier brass. Eagle is perched at top and center scene shows waterfall. Text is "Booster/Niagara Falls Police Club Inc./1957." First we've seen and Exc. Last is 8.5" blue plastic wrist strap with markings so it can be used as an 8" ruler. At center is brass luster compartment containing a needle to rise up as a sun dial along with an inset compass which actually glows in the dark. There are two red plastic hinged swivels with one holding a magnifying glass and the other holding what appears to be litmus paper to predict wet or dry weather. The underside of the case is silver metal and this has the complete Morse code along with a small depiction of a constellation inscribed at the top "North Star." Obviously a premium and c. 1950 but we do not know the sponsor. Extremely well made. NM.
