Description: This is a super rare Certain-Teed Pantex Ordnance Plant Police badge that most likely once belonged to one of the few policemen that stood guard at the Certain-Teed Pantex Ordnance Plant. "The Pantex Ordinance Plant was authorized on February 24, 1942, with construction being completed on November 15, 1942. It served as conventional bomb plant for the U.S. Army during the early days of World War II, from 1942 to 1945. Its mission was to load and pack conventional artillery shells and bombs. Certain Teed Products Corporation operated the facility. As were many war-era munitions plants, Pantex was deactivated after the war ended. It remained vacant until 1947, when Texas Technological College in Lubbock (now Texas Tech University) leased 8,000 acres. It then purchased the 16,031.9-acre site for one dollar in 1949. The land was sold by the War Assets Administration subject to recall under the National Security Clause. Texas Tech used the land for experimental cattle-feeding operations."
