RE: B&O railroad police badge - 8/13/2008 10:14:29 PM    appliedlips Posts: 3039 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline       Mystery solved.It was so exciting to find out this much history on the badge and the person who used the privy.None of it would have possible without the dog tag.Learning about this one was more fun than actually digging it.

RE: B&O railroad police badge MYSTERY SOLVED!!! - 3/9/2010 10:29:04 PM    bandoken   Posts: 2 Joined: 1/1/2010 Status: offline Hello Appliedlips, I am a serious B&O RR Badge collector. While searching the web for anything I could find on the B&O I found your badge find on this site. I was wondering if you were interested in parting with it? I would be very interested in purchasing it from you if possible. Thanks so much. (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 29

RE: B&O railroad police badge MYSTERY SOLVED!!! - 3/10/2010 8:14:30 AM    bandoken   Posts: 2 Joined: 1/1/2010 Status: offline Thanks for the quick reply. Please let the friend know that as far as I am aware this is the first time I have seen this style of badge and I would think it to be quite rare. It would be a shame for it to return to a land fill in the future. Thanks for sharing your find. (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 31
