The badge in the first pic is a Safety Patrol badge, the kids in grade school wore them to help other kids cross the streets near the school. I believe the program is sponsored by the Triple A.

The last one is definitely a Plymouth car emblem/badge, but I can't seem to find what model it belongs to. Possibly a dash emblem or other location, instead of grill? One was on Ebay, but they only listed it as "30's" with no further description.

It's similar to the one's used on 1934-38 Plymouth models. 1939 emblems were quite different, as well as the 1933 and earlier.

Your Safety Patrol badge was issued to student crossing guards at elementary schools from the 1950's onward. Each rank had a different color of enamel in the seal. The Captain was the child in charge of the squad, which included stop-sign bearers and crossing guards. Great finds, Sub

a quick Google images search of antique meat cleavers will give you an infinate number of exact match's to your cleaver....also not the hole in the meat cleavers for hanging.......

As stated by others, the safety patrol badge is mid 20th C. I had one just like it when I was captain of my elementary school safety patrol around 1970.

Hey Mack, Your Plymouth grill emblem is off of a 1930 Plymouth TRUCK, according to one ebay listing... Happy Hunting, Sub

I hope to be wrong, but I believe that Ebay listing is incorrect. I found that same listing, but it's the only one I could find. None of my searches - and I did individual year searches for both Plymouth grills and emblems starting at 1929 to 1941 - and after looking at several dozen images per year, did not find a single match. That's checking both trucks and cars. So, I'm still on the fence as to an accurate ID on the Plymouth badge.
