Found this cool old Badge / Pin Back at early 1900's - abandoned house the other day.
Here's what I could find out about it's history ...
The Ward Bread company had radio news show just for teenagers in the 1930's called the "Scoop Ward Show"
CBS aired the show from 1935 to 1937 and listeners could order a camera along with a badge like the one I found here - then they could pretend to be real reporters.
The Badge measures 1 1/2" tall and is in better condition then it looks in the photo - the steel pin rotted away but the Badge itself is in great condition.
Found the vintage photo of the camera they offered on the internet.
