1938 DICK TRACY RADIO PREMIUM INSPECTOR GENERAL BADGE

1938 DICK TRACY INSPECTOR

GENERAL BADGE

• I read somewhere that this badge is the holy grail of Dick Tracy radio premiums.
• 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.
• As can be seen from above the Inspector-General is the hardest badge to obtain (39 box tops plus good deeds) and less children would have stuck with the process to attain this high rank.
• This badge and the others I have listed in other auctions came from a single estate.
• This badge is in great condition with only minor rubs to the surface.
•  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!
