Item Description
7/8” dia. well made brass badge w/black enamel bkg. Paint surrounding detailed image of him on Silver w/text below. Bright luster is off brass area but metal surface is clean and glossy. Black enamel paint is near 100%. Reverse has original vertical bar pin w/tiny bend on pin shaft causing no problem. This is only the third example we’ve seen of this rare badge which came from Trojan Publishing Corp., publishers of the The Lone Ranger Magazine which was a pulp format publication published for only a few issues beginning in April 1937. The publishers created a club for the readers which also promoted listening to The Lone Ranger radio program. Club members received a membership card along w/this badge. Our last example (also VF) exceeded $1500. VF. Rare.
