Chase Goldman Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Probably a railroad police badge for the Virginia and Tennessee railroad which existed with that name between the 1850’s through approximately 1870 when it then became part of the M, N, & O railroad group and eventually became Norfolk and Western and then Norfolk Southern. Which means this badge probably pre-dates 1870. Cool find. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
