Vintage Tin Litho Special Police Badge Hancock County Sheriff's Dept. 1950s - 1960s

Very Rare Vintage Tin Special Police Badge Hancock County Tennessee Sheriff's Department 1950s - 1960s ~

"Home of the Mulegeons" The mystique of the Mulegeons in the late 1950s and 1960s led the Hancock County Sheriff's Department to add this to their badge. Local restaurants sold Mulegeons burgers and everything that was ever associated with a Mulegeon was turned into a tourist attraction. This makes me think this was one of the later series of badges and could be the 1960s.

These are very well made out of a beautiful tin litho front and thick plastic back and they look amazing!

Badge 1 1/2" ~ Card 4" x 2 1/4" ~

This is a very rare find made in the 1950s as part of the Japanese rebuilding project General Macarthur ran.
