Nice catch Eric. It never ceases to amaze me how a piece like this has stood the test of time so well. Congrats. Robert

you can say that again, this is the desk it was in, both the badge and the packet was in a jar full of nails and screws :speechless1:I bought the desk too,

the jar was in the middle section here and this beautiful roll top (maker on the desk is dated 1810) was used as a work bench, You just never know what you'll find hidden in the nooks and cranny's

No problem Eric, I can move it if needed.

Nice find by the way. Did you know that the badge was with the desk or was it an accident?

Cheers

It was pretty much by accident, but I did find it while still in the store so it the desk cost a little more but well worth it.I also found some photo's but they were in terrible shape

No doubt the original owner of your badge was very proud of his achievement. So much so he hid it so well it took 60= years for someone to find it. The desk is a treasure too. Are the joints dove-tailed? Robert

PS How was the pulse rate when only you knew what you had found? I get that way on the rare occasion when I get a nice flea market find but nothing in comparison to this.
