I LOVE those old kids badges!!! I've found a few of them, and they're one of my most favorite things to find. You know, those companies used to give away such cool stuff compared to the crap they do today (stickers, song downloads, etc.). I've seen guys find cap guns, medals, decoder rings and so many other neat items, courtesy of cereal companies, bread companies, gum companies, and similar businesses. Different times.
I can obviously see the gash on the piece, but if you didn't tell me that was held together by candle way, I would've never guessed. I thought you scraped it with your lesche when I first saw it. Good job on the repair
