1938 DICK TRACY RADIO PREMIUM RARE PATROL LEADER BADGE

1938 DICK TRACY PATROL

LEADER BADGE

• Produced in 1938 for the Dick Tracy radio show sponsered by Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice cereals.
• Joining the club required two Quaker box tops which got you a code book, pledge and member badge.
• Additional badges required you write in to tell Dick about good deeds you had done since your last promotion and fork over an additional 5 box tops for Sergeant, 7 for Lieutenant, 10 for Captain, and 15 for Inspector-General.
• Each level had to be attained before you could get the next.
• The Patrol Leader badge required the member to send in 2 more box tops and also recruit 5 new members that had to send in two box tops each.
• The extra recuiting effort seems to have made this one of the rare Dick Tracy radio premiums.
• This badge and the others I have listed in other auctions came from a single estate.
• This badge is in great condition with only very minor rubs to the surface.
• The original gold finish is complete and intact, there is some glare from the scan but the finish is near perfect. 
• The scan of the back of the badge is not great but shows the old style pin back.
•  Shipping, handling and insurance will be $12.00 in North America.
• Please check my other auctions for the rest of this wonderful collection.....it would be a shame to break it up!
