Chauffeurs Badges, Let's See Them

I have found two of them, both from Illinois, 1921 and 1927:

I found my only one almost thirty years ago. My friend found another one the next day in the same area. Sadly I don't have it any longer. I saw one like it in an antique store for $75.00 back then and mine was in better shape. I haven't found another one since.
 
I figured I would bring this thread back to life since there seems to be a few posted recently that maybe could be added to this thread.
 
Those are neat, I want to find one now! Closest thing I have found is a bicycle badge from the city I live in

I found my badge a few years ago. I got run off of the site where I found it. I pulled wheats, silver, and this badge out of there in about 30 minutes of hunting. Sure wish I could go back.

Texas Chauffeurs Badge

Here's one I found a few years ago at an old hotel that burned down in the 40's or 50's.

Congrats on all the cool looking old Chauffeurs Badges !
A great idea for a thread - I've yet to find one - on my hit list.
 
Awesome thread! :yes: Here are two I have found :) One is dated 1922, and the other is dated 1928.
