my flea mkt find

[clipper1]

I found these today. I don't know if they are of interest to anyone, but I couldn't resist buying these employee badges. It might be fun if a name could be attached to them since they are both numbered.

Unfortunately, those have nothing to do with either Colt or Smith & Wesson. They are Flea market gimmicks with all kinds of stampings thereon, such as "Brothel Inspector", " Licensed Junk Dealer" XXX Employee, etc. Ed.

I have a whole jar of pennies. What's the big deal?

Cool. They look like they would work nicely as pocket watch fobs.

Looks real neat to me. Don

nice find, clipper.

As Ed stated, they are not real. You will also see S&W Police and S&W Security badges for sale at gun shows and on Flea Bay. Those are usually not real either. There are also a slew of belt buckles and patches that were never approved by S&W. Buyer beware.

Brothel Inspector? I'll take it.

Well, I guess P.T.Barnum said it best, LOL! I just picked them up at the local flea mkt and only paid a couple of bucks for the pair. They are fun, and will serve as 'sucker bait' poster for me.hahaha

I wish more of my "mistakes" were only a few bucks.
