The badge above is probably from an insurance agency, located in Canton PA. If anyone has specific information on the history of this agency, please contact me (Joyce)

Hi Joyce,
 My name is Jeff, I am writing to you in regards to a identification badge that I found in an old logging camp in Crowell Hollow in Potter co.  This badge fastened to the suspenders of the logger and I'll read to you what it says.
 "TO IDENTIFY ME, TELEGRAPH THIS NUMBER THE HOME PROTECTION AGENCY, THEY WILL NOTIFY MY FRIENDS.  CANTON, PA."

 I find this piece to be very interesting and was hoping to get it to the Historical society in Bradford Co. someday.  Maybe this is familiar to you.  If you have the time to respond with any information, that would be greatly appreciated.

   Thank you for any consideration.
    sincerely,   Jeff Herman
