Larger than a standard badge, this 3 1/2" symbol was likely used as an office identification or on an award plaque. It appears to have the remnants of a sticky tape on the back and no pin or clip. Marked GA-REL, a Rhode Island badge company in business for 60 years. Date code on back indicates that the emblem was made March 1987.
