Here is a Vintage Detroit Police 1-Yr. Safe Driver Badge or Pin.
I'm not sure of the age, but from the looks of it very old. It still has the original pin on the back and shows good age. Looks like copper or brass.
I don't know if these were given out to Detroit Police for their safe driving or the public?

antiquesareamazing,
Thank you for the love.
I have a collection of 250+ badges issued by Detroit employers, government agencies, and fraternal organizations. This one is new to me and very interesting!

I love the vintage pins and badges, this one is old. I think maybe 1920's-30's, what do you think?
I try to collect Broward County, Fl (P.D., Sheriffs, etc..), but sometimes I come across this type and buy if the price is right.
