Chauffeur's Badge and a Button

I got out to a house that dates around 1870-1880 and dug this button and chauffeur's badge. Also dug a handfull of clad and the usual junk. No old silver, darn it. But it was nice to get out.

Ebay has a site where 25 of the Calif chauffeur badges are being sold in a batch, including one like yours.

Nice find!

In the most recent edition (4th, 1994) of Connors' Price Guide to American & Canadian Chauffeur Badges, the California 1922 badge lists for $45.

The button is, of course, a U.S. Marine Corps uniform button.

Unfortunately the back is gone. I this style was used alot, so I don't know if it can be dated.
