Attractive group of four Inglewood, California police badges representing varied rank and departmental assignments, including a Park Police eagle-top shield, a standard Police badge, an Auxiliary Police badge numbered “12,” and a Lieutenant rank badge with blue enamel title panel. Instituted in 1908, the Inglewood Police Department issued badges of this type to sworn officers and auxiliary personnel for identification and designation of rank or specialized duty. The Park Police example features silver-tone finish and municipal seal, denoting assignment to park or municipal property patrol. The standard Police badge retains blue enamel “POLICE” panel and city seal. The Auxiliary badge, numbered “12,” reflects reserve or auxiliary service. The Lieutenant badge displays blue enamel “LIEUTENANT” panel over the city seal, indicating supervisory rank. Maker marks include “ENTENMANN / LOS ANGELES” on the Park badge, “ENTENMANN-ROVIN CO. / GENUINE ‘CARLTONE GOLD’ / LOS ANGELES 15, CALIF.” on the Police badge, and “ENTENMANN-ROVIN CO. / GENUINE ‘CARLTONE GOLD’ / PICO RIVERA, CALIF.” on the Lieutenant badge; the Auxiliary example appears unmarked. The presence of both Los Angeles and Pico Rivera address marks reflects mid-century production evolution within the Entenmann-Rovin firm and adds cohesive Southern California collector interest.
