badge question Last viewed: 1 minute ago

Posts: 1072 Threads: 89

ok i found a list of camco badges in another section of this site. there is 2 cloud oaklawn badges listed, first one with oaklawn, il. on it and 2nd one with oaklawn, il. USA on it. by any chance do these two badges determine the date period of camcos in il. for exsample, the 1st one being of the early yrs and the 2nd being the later yrs. of the il. era? what other reason would they do the two badges?

just kinda curious the age of mine, doesn't really make a difference to me, it's just one of those questions that will always be in the back of my mind.

thanks for your time.

o and mine have the 1st badge, camco drum co. oaklawn, il.

Stay Wiggly,
