NEAT 1940s RED BALL Transit Co 1yr Safe Driver Hat Badge. Offered is an original heavy thick silver painted RED BALL Transit Company 1 year Safe Driver Hat Badge . Based on weight and paint off letters – it appears to be silver paint over brass metal core. The RED round ball in middle and Blue material at bottom appear to be hard enamel inlay. Do not see a maker name on it and no date is indicated. However, it was found with late 1930s items – my guess is 1940s. Back has 2 screw down rings (and 2 treaded legs) and a “safety” pin. Both of the rings appear to be the original ones issued with the badge. The top treaded leg is slightly bent so the ring does not screw down all the way on it – about half way. Would not recommend trying to straighten the leg – past experience tells me “don’t do it” no matter how bad you want tooo. >>CONDITION: Overall in Very Good condition with some wear and aging. The round Red ball symbol (enamel) has some hairline scratches. The front metal winged area has a few small dirt or wear spots. Paint is worn off the “RED BALL” lettering (showing brass – looks sort’a cool). NOTE: The Red ball in middle DOES NOT have little black or white spots/specs – that was caused by scanner. See Scan photo(s) for detail view(s). >>ACTUAL SIZE: 2 ¼ inches Wide by 2 ½ inches Tall. >>SHIPPING includes secure packaging.
