Clevland Telephone Badge

[Fabius]

I was on eBay searching new telephone related items when this Cleveland Telephone Company badge poped in with a buy it now of $30. I immediately bought it. If you look at the picture in the listing (1st photo) it appears that someone tried to remove the employee number and that there was a lose of nickle to the right of the bell. The badge arrived today and cleaned it with Bon Amie. You can see the excellent results. Notice how it is resembles an Ohio Bell badge.
