Hayward is in Sawyer county, Wisconsin.
did you see the Packers lose today:( , beautiful badges:)
Thanks Sean, and yes I watched that tragedy.
Thanks everyone. This is one of those badges that was a mystery to me when I bought it. My research results were just too good to not publish even though it doesn't fit within the geographical limits of my collection.
This badge is actually from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The city seal is the one for the city. You can see plenty of examples from the city on my website: http://www.justinspolicecollection.com
Thank you Justin !! I spent hours on that badge looking for pictures of city seals and found one for Hayward that looked like this. Darned if I can find it now. So I looked up Minneapolis just now and there it is. I stand corrected. Sorry I don't have the badge anymore. Nice web site. If you get a chance check out the malls in Stillwater. I usually see Minn. badges there when I go prowling.
