Marshall's Badge
from Fairbanks, Alaska

We are offering one of the best little Alaska collections that we have ever seen.
 
Fred Schaupp was a pioneer Alaskan who was all over the Territory, and earlier, the District of Alaska.
Early Alaska law enforcement badges are exceedingly rare, this one dates from pre-territorial days!

      Fred Schaupp is listed in the following Polk's Alaska Yukon Gazetteers:
1903  Nome   tinner with J.F. Giese
                                    1905  Fairbanks 1st. Ave, cor Lacey   mnfr of sheet metal.
                       1907  Fairbanks  123 8th Ave.   sheet metal works
            1909-1910  Fairbanks  123 8th Ave.   tinner
        1911-1912  Chitina   tinsmith (see photo)

Fred Schaupp's badge includes the most impeccable provenance.
Included in the collection are all of the items seen in these scans.
