retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 5:53 pm Milwaukee Street Trades Badge Types Street trades badges were required even for news paper carriers until the early 1960's when they were replaced with a work permit that was applied for through the principal's office. The first badges have a badge number without a prefix initial and a around inscription. The second variety has a badge number with a prefix initial and the around inscription. Third variety has a badge number with a prefix initial and has a stacked inscription. The Fourth version has prefix initials A B C D There are also some size and style variations in the numbers and lettering. Most numbers are usually four digits but three digit numbers can occasionally be found. Report this Post to the Staff

retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 02/05/2025 10:01 pm Thanks Dearborn, these badges were not in use after the late 50's maybe? In the early 1960s I had to get a work permit in the principals office to work in the parks. By the mid 60's no permit or badge was needed in Milwaukee. That's when I found out about income tax.
