Item Description
Each flashlight is 2.75" tall with one featuring a green tube and the other dark red both complete with white plastic end caps, image of Tracy and text and with a cord joining to a 1-1/8x1.5" brass shield badge with Tracy image and text "Dick Tracy Junior Secret Service." One cord torn so one end is knotted through the loop of the shield on the green light, the cord on the red light is looped as issued. Both lights have only a few pinpoints of paint wear and should work with insertion of correct battery. Last is the exceptionally large premium badge 2.5" diameter and slightly convex with highly embossed details of wreath, eagle, star and Tracy image. Reverse is missing the vertical pin shaft but still has the soldered bottom shaft with loop to hold the pin. Most luster is gone but brass remains very clean. Issued in 1938 by Quaker cereals and this was the highest club rank with the exception of one called "Patrol Leader."
