Re: Employee Badges
interesting topic !
my thanks to all of the contributors especially Gary in MN for detailing the different mounting styles. I have a handful of these badges as SWAG for my great grandfather's '40 Town Sedan. nice to discover the early vs. late details. Jake bought his car new and lived in San Francisco and I've read that all pre-war Mercs destined for West coast delivery were built in the Richmond plant. I've been searching (casually) for *anything* from this facility for decades and, with the exception of the odd aerial photo, nothing. nada. zero. zip. input appreciated. TIA |

nothing to speak of. a couple of ROUGE shift badges (... as they were described to me decades ago) and a couple of tool checks. my great grandfather was the original owner of this '40 Town Sedan and when I found out that (maybe it's true) all pre-war Merc's destined for West Coast delivery were assembled @ the Richmond plant I started looking around. this was a San Francisco delivery. he was a retired S.F. police officer. these kind of numbers are beyond my ability. I did notice the Canada badge that went off several weeks ago. YOW! |

Re: Employee Badges
Very cool, I have several of those myself. The Rouge badges all have letters designating the different departments. I'd be interested to know what letters you have on your badges.

Re: Employee Badges
I recently acquired one of the rarest Ford badges ever. It is from the Brazil FORDLANDIA plant, Henry's failed rubber tree plantation. Have seen only pictures of their existance but I don't know of anyone that has one or seen one in person.
Would be willing to trade it but, only for the Oval Winged Pyramid style badge. |

Here is a tool check also from Fordlandia in Brazil: . I purchased a hand full of these Ford tool checks (NFS) from the estate of a late, French, National Geographic photographer who had been on a photographic mission in Brazil to take photographs of the animals that had moved into the former Fordlandia grounds. He was later killed by the natives when he was on a follow-on mission in the Amazon jungle (RIP). Brad in Maryland |
