<B>1859 Charleston SERVANT Slave Hire Badge. Number 448.</B></I> A slightly concave diamond-shaped tag with unclipped corners and a hole for suspension, 51mm x 54mm. No hallmark, but likely made by W. B. Veronee, a local tinsmith. The elements on the obverse are as follows (top to bottom): "CHARLESTON" in a crescent-shaped bar punch; "SERVANT" in a rectangular bar punch ("T" is weak); an incuse "448" in individual punches; and "1859" bar punched ("1" is weak). Condition is fine with a mostly dark patina. <BR><BR>The badges for 1859, of which an estimated 4235 were made, were the first badges since 1826 with the occupation appearing as the second line of text.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
