Item Description
This item (and previous item) came into the premium hobby in the late 1970s via a man who worked for Robbins Co. of Attleboro, MA, famed for producing various premiums. Offered here is a 1/8" thick piece of lead, measuring 1-1/8x2.25". It came from the Robbins factory and was produced by striking the die on a lead sheet so the design could be seen as flawless before production began on the test premium badge to be used by a local sponsor of the program in the 1930s. Front has raised image of winged shield w/raised "Winfair - W.J.A.C. - Ground Member" text at center, referring to the Winfair Jack Armstrong Club. Back of the piece has a hand scratched production number "M5518." One-of-a-kind. Exc. Rare. This is the actual example shown in "The Official Price Guide To Pop Culture Memorabilia" by Ted Hake and comes with COA.
