    Geeze, Dick; some of those mug shots look like contemporary Volkswagen executives about to testify as to what they knew and when they knew it! BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

      I knew personally three of the men at left. Ted Zenzinger was the Executive Asst to Sherwood Egbert, Otto Klausmeyer was Manufacturing mgr. Do not recall the 3rd guys name. None were under indictment so far as I know.

          It kinda looks like the chest salad some Generalissimo would be wearing.

            Actually workers wore only a single badge or pin. The photo badges were required during WWII for security reasons and the various colors at right designated what departments they were allowed to enter.

                    Thanks for your second posting which is also impressive & I'm sure appreciated by other Forum viewers.

                      Wow 2 Gold Star Pins - to me that is the greatest of all of the Studebaker pins because of the sacrifice it represents. These pins were given to the families of Studebaker Employees who were killed while in the military. I have one of these that I purchased from a used car dealer a short distance from the plant. Sadly he did not know what this pin represented and until I saw an article in one of the Studebaker employee publications I did not know what it represented. Studebaker had a rather large display listing the names of these individuals and I believe it was across the street from the Engineering Bldg. I wonder when this display was taken down.

                      Nice Collection of items and nicely presented.

                          I bought my Grandfather Loren's 15 twenty and 25 year pins at my Aunt's estate sale. I treasure them. He worked in the upholstery shop and I like to picture him building the seat for my 39 CE.

                            Dick you should take something like this to the Antique Road Show, I'm sure you would make TV as most of the general public has never seen something like this.

                              Did you ever find a 60-year pin?
