Employee Badges
Has anyone out there in FordBarn Land seen employee badges for the Long Beach plant? Or do you know if they did/did not even issue them for LB?
Thanks! |

Re: Employee Badges
All Ford plants had employee badges. Some are rarer than others and that's why you don't see them that much.
I was talking with a friend of mine who I frequently trade Ford memorabilia with and he related a story to me of finding Employee Badges at yard sales in his hometown of Dearborn Heights for 50 cents to $1 all the time. I'll buy all of them I can find at that price... LOL |

Re: Employee Badges
I have several early Ford Plant Badges but not a Long Beach. However, I have seen one. It's in a friends collection. My favorite is the one I have from the Seattle Ford Plant......Much tougher to find then Long Beach.

Re: Employee Badges
No one has mentioned the "FORDSON" badge. Here is one example.

Re: Employee Badges
Fordgarage: The J1125 looks like a 1931 Model A Ford radiator shell. I have included a picture of a similar one I purchased on the bay from the United Kingdom.badges 007 (Medium).jpg
The Ford store token allowed you to buy from the Ford store. Just a guess but I think they were near Ford factories when they were not located by a major city. Here is Canadian version. Gary in MN badges 005 (Medium).jpg |

It's crazy what some of the Employee Badges go for! I've been wanting to add a couple of the badges used in the teens with the brass rad. Model T on them. Those go for insane money- at least the ones I've seen sell. Been looking for Jacksonville badge as I have 2 Model A's that were built there, but have yet to see one surface. |

Re: Employee Badges
I would be interested to know whether our Aussie mates can verify the 'Australia' Ford badge. It looks a bit sus. to me, historically speaking. Would they depict the first T for the Geelong plant of 1925 build date. Plant badges begin from the late T era.
I want a 'Windsor' [Canada] plant badge which do exist! |
