Obsolete Firefighter badge - fireman horn - M.J. Delehanty - antique medal - Vintage Fire dept special commendation Lapel Pin - fireman
$95.00
When I got this, I was told it was was an older badge ( at the time) that was given to a fireman who attended the Delehanty Institute. I believe they had the "compliments of" tag added to the older badge int he 40's because the gentleman showed such potential . I hope this goes to a family that will appreciate this because it must have been quite an honor. The institute had classes to teach people to be civil servants. The 2nd to the last photo shows how it may have been worn and is not the person who owned this. I don't have much more information but I got it from a firefighter's estate about 20 years ago. The last photo shows Mr. Delehanty himself.
A little history on the gentleman who started the institute. :::
Mr. Delehanty ( who later became an attendant in the State Supreme Court ) established new branches of the institute ( originally started in 1915 ) to train policemen and firemen, as well as others interested in civil service careers. His institute was affectionately called “Delehanty U.” More and more of his pupils passed the examinations with such ease that gradually the tests had to be made more difficult, thus increasing Mr. Delehanty's pretest burden. And as the scope of the examinations expanded, so did the number of courses offered by the institute.The institute was located at 119 East 11th Street.

Because these are vintage estate pieces and are vintage and possibly pre-worn so they are not considered new from the factory….. Please see photos for any wear or light surface scratches that come with age.☺………………. Sold as is and priced accordingly.. All cufflinks ( unless otherwise specified) are considered costume jewelry. We don’t polish these previously owned well loved pieces so we can keep the original patina. We try and photograph all of the pieces next to a ruler so you can see the actual size. All jewelry sold as found.
We use the descriptions of any stones from the manufacturers titles when they were first produced. When we refer to the stones as moonstone or jade or garnet, for example, we are using how the original manufacturer of the pieces used them. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of a stone in a costume piece of jewelry. All pieces have been worn at least one time unless otherwise specified. Although the pieces we carry are unique and interesting they may have a little wear ( if any) but they sure have a lot of love that came with them when they were first purchased way back when.
Just click on our photos for more close ups to help you see all the cool detail on each piece.
