This is the second I have found this year. It was very corroded, so I built an electrolysis machine, used it sparingly, then soaked it for 24hrs in vinegar to remove the cement type crust. I would use this method to remove cement off my tools when I was a concrete lab rat for local concrete co. I only did this enough to at least read the date. It was found in the yard where I live. This is where I found the 1961 badge, and this one is dated 1953. I am working with DMV archives to see if I can find who these belong to. I would like to give them back.

Very nice. Those are the fun kind of finds. Good luck with your research.
Apparently most states issued them metal, accompanied with a paper license as well. I have never seen one before. I found two in my front yard. The one from 1961 I put in an earlier post is a lot nicer. They started issue them as early as 1915. Hope there's more. These were the precursor for the commercial drivers license.
