Description
1800 Charleston PORTER Slave Hire Badge. Number ??. A flat octagonal tag with a hole at the top for suspension, 38mm x 40mm. The "ATMAR" hallmark stamped on the reverse at the top denotes the manufacturer, Ralph Atmar, Jr.; this was the only year he produced these badges. The elements on the obverse are as follows (top to bottom): an engraved "No ???"; "PORTER" in individual punches; and "1800" punched. This excavated badge is in very good condition with surface porosity and a very dark brown patina. Note that there is no "Charleston" on these first year badges. Even without being able to ascertain the number, this is a tremendously scarce badge from the first year of manufacture.Auction Info

We had a wonderful time in New York during the October 2013 Historical Manuscripts auction that featured my mother’s papers collected during her tenure as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s secretary. In fact, the entire experience from beginning to end has been a pleasure.View More Testimonials
