Object/Artifact
Pin: General Electric [Company] Hoboken Works 19. No date, circa 1939-1948. Button badge, 1-1/4" diameter. Maker's logo on back, but no name. The company's plant was at 720-732 Grand St., Hoboken. See notes for history of companies on this site. The intended use of the button is not indicated. It does not have an employee number and thus was not an employee identification badge as such, although it could have indicated a department within the factory that the employee was working in.
