Well-defined group of four Inglewood, California police badges representing rank and assignment distinctions within the department, including an Auxiliary Policeman badge numbered “12,” a Motor Police badge with detachable number bar “11,” a Lieutenant badge numbered “115,” and a standard Police eagle-top shield. Instituted in 1908, the Inglewood Police Department issued badges of this type to sworn officers and auxiliary personnel for identification and duty designation. The Motor Police example features the California bear motif above the number bar, denoting traffic or motorcycle assignment. The Lieutenant badge displays blue enamel “LIEUTENANT” title panel over the city seal, indicating supervisory rank. The Police badge retains blue enamel “POLICE” panel and dual-tone finish. Maker marks include “ENTENMANN / LOS ANGELES” on the Motor badge; “ENTENMANN-ROVIN CO. / GENUINE ‘CARLTONE GOLD’ / ‘PLATILOY SILVER’ / LOS ANGELES, CALIF.” on the Police badge; and “ENTENMANN-ROVIN CO. / GENUINE ‘CARLTONE GOLD’ / ‘PLATILOY SILVER’ / PICO RIVERA, CALIF.” on the Lieutenant badge; the Auxiliary example appears unmarked. The presence of Los Angeles and Pico Rivera address marks reflects mid-century production transitions within the Entenmann-Rovin firm and adds cohesive regional collector appeal.
