<B>1828 Charleston PORTER Slave Hire Badge. Number 254.</B></I> A nearly flat square-shaped tag (as they were in even-numbered years during this period) with clipped and rounded corners and a hole for suspension, 50mm x 54mm. "LAFAR" hallmark punched on the reverse at the lower right indicating manufacture by Charleston silversmith John Joseph LaFar. The elements on the front are as follows (top to bottom): "*CHARLESTON*" in a crescent-shaped bar punch; "1828" bar punched; "PORTER" in a rectangular punch; and "No" in a square punch followed by an incuse "254". The condition is extremely fine exhibiting a chocolate brown patina with red highlights. A particularly attractive badge well suited for display. <BR><BR>An estimated 3080 badges bearing the 1828 date were originally issued. Interestingly, this is the last year in which maker's hallmarks were to be used.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
