A genuine piece of mid-century Americana, still on its original card. This New Old Stock tin litho novelty badge features the six-pointed star of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, complete with the California grizzly bear at its center — the same bear on the state flag. Made in Japan after 1952, card-mounted and unused. A small, honestly told artifact of postwar dime-store culture and California law enforcement history. Perfect for tin litho collectors, LASD enthusiasts, or anyone with deep LA roots.
