ChrisCo and I hit an Old School today and I found this Fire Department Badge.
We are in Southern Oregon and the Fire Station depicted is a Volunteer Fire Department across the California border. Quite often over the years California and Oregon go to each others states to "help out", in the event of major forest fires etc. so perhaps this school which is now closed for the last 15 years was used as a "Camp Ground"
anyways it was about 7" deep and rang up as a 12-13 nickel range on the Equinox. I am thinking possibly it is nickel plated.
I did send a facebook message to the Corning Volunteer Fire department Facebook Group so I hope to hear back from them.
It is a fairly small badge about 2.25 high by 1.25 wide so at first I thought it might of been a toy but it is pretty solidly made and just doesn't look like a toy. Not to nention it had an actual name on it.. Anyways was a pretty cool find I thought.
