Did You Wear a badge to work in a factory?

I wonder if my dad still has his. He worked at Packard late in WWII and just after, as did my grandmother. I know he still has a Hudson Motorcar badge from either his time working there or my grandfather's buried somewhere in the vast mounds of stuff, along with his Chrysler and Budd ones. We also have my other grandfather's IDs from Ford Highland Park and Rouge. By the time I worked at Oldsmobile such things were long gone.

I have my dad's Hudson Motor Car Co. employee badge. He worked there for 6-8 months in 1946. I think that time convinced him that a factory job was not for him, as he never worked in another one.
