1962 Blackinton® badge ad.

Badges? We know where to get those stinking badges!

This manufacturer is still making badges for those agencies that need them to this day. Now you know where all of the badges come from. Blackinton has been in business for a very long time.

YES!

I find this ad very cool and very interesting. Also - Blazing Saddles reference = win!

I've never stopped before to consider that there are badge designers out there. Fascinating.

Yes.

I love mystery and detective stories, so I find this pretty cool.

Fancy!

I wonder if these guys did the iconic LAPD badge, as seen on "Dragnet".

Adding a YES. I didn't realize that was how we were voting.
