Wanted: Family Police Heirlooms

Do you have a collection of police memorabilia from your own career, or a family member…….and have no one interested in preserving this heritage? Are you concerned about the collection falling into the wrong hands (criminals, unscrupulous dealers)? If so, feel free to contact me. I am a retired police officer, with 28 years on the job. I am a nationally recognized collector of police memorabilia such as badges, cabinet cards, Gamewell police call boxes, vintage uniforms, restraint devices (handcuffs, leg irons), shoulder patches, and other items. I would love to add new items into my collection, and will travel to your location to inspect your collection and provide an estimate. Of special interest are entire collections, or pre-1900 one of a kind items. Please contact me and I’ll provide you with specifics as to my background and collecting endeavors to satisfy you that you would be in good hands.
