A neat piece of Dayton history. This G. H. R. (Garland Haswell Reutschler) Foundry Fire Department Lieutenants badge is a scarcity.

G.H.R was a part of Dayton Malleable Iron Company, also known as Dayton Malleable Inc. I've attached a couple of screen shots that help show the history of the plant. It's interesting to read the history, and see the impact it had on the Hungarian immigrants in the area.

The pictures tell the story on the badge, which is probably from the 30's or 40's.

Please contact me with any questions at all. AND... if you have more information to share, I'm always glad to add it to the listing.
