<B>1836 Charleston SERVANT Slave Hire Badge. Number 645.</B></I> A slightly convex diamond-shaped tag with clipped corners and a hole at the top for suspension, 65mm x 68mm. Manufactured by William Madison Rouse. The elements on the obverse are as follows (top to bottom): "*CHARLESTON*" in a crescent-shaped bar punch; "1836" bar punched; "SERVANT" in a rectangular punch ("S" weak) inside a dotted border; an incuse "645" in individual punches. The appearance is very fine with a somewhat mottled surface; brown patina with red highlights likely from cleaning after being dug up. <BR><BR>This was the first year that Rouse, a silversmith, received the city's contract. He used a different and smaller typeface than his predecessors for the badges and dropped the "No" punch. It is estimated that there were 3707 badges manufactured for 1836.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
