Details


FBI agent Melvin Purvis had brought John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd to justice before going on to host the 'Junior G-Men' radio show in the mid 1930s. The program club in the 1st year was titled "Junior G-Man Corps" and 2nd year "Law And Order Patrol".. This was sponsored by Post Toasties. They offered about 8 different premiums badges during that time. Here is a 'Secret Operator' Melvin Purvis Law and Order Patrol .... Girls Division ... pin. Extremely nice condition for the age. Measuring approx. 2" wide in brass with black and gold lettering. No damage. Fun collectible to add to your vintage collection.

This is part of many fun badges, official radio premium items and icons of the era, all from the wonderful estate of a collector. Keep and eye out on other items I will be sharing.
