Scarce, quality manufactured Secret Service guest badge #209 issued during the administration of President Jimmy Carter, measuring 1″ in diameter, featuring a raised gold presidential seal in the center surrounded by a green enamel border emblazoned with the words “Presidential Guest.” Includes a letter of provenance a White House card from NSC staffer Larry Branscum. In part: “The green enamel…lapel pin (#209) was used during the administration of President Carter. Each pin is numbered & controlled by the Secret Service. If you have reason to be near the President, this pin would be worn on your lapel for quick Secret Service identification purposes. I was often in the presence of the President.” Being a monitored item, these pins were supposed to have been collected by the secret service following a certain mission or circumstance. A prized collectible, secret service pins such as this remain nearly unobtainable to the private collector. From the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection.
