For your consideration in this lot we have a pair of spurious police badges and a brothel coin originating from the 20th century. The first of the badges shows metal construction and is marked "Indian U O S X I 3 Police" across the front and "1880 HV" across the back. The second badge shows metal construction with embossed lettering reading "Plantation Police Georgetown County 1856 South Carolina Runaway Slave Patrol" across the front. Finaly we have a brass coin marked "146 Custom House Place Madame Eva Chicago" on one side with a portrait on the other that is marked "1886". The pieces show fair condition overall with each piece showing some wear and oxidization. The first badge measures 2 3/4" tall by 2 1/4" wide, the second shows a diameter of 2" with the coin showing a diameter of 1 1/2".
