In the early 20th century, many states implemented licensing requirements for professional drivers, including chauffeurs, to ensure public safety and regulate the burgeoning automotive industry. These licenses often took the form of badges or medallions that drivers were required to carry or display. With their unique serial numbers and shapes that make each one of a kind,, these badges represent a tangible piece of transportation history. They are a perfect gift for the collector or anyone interested in automobilia, historical badges, or the history of law enforcement and licensing in the United States.
Some wear/tear on the pieces commiserate with age.
