if it seems too good to be true...

First thing I notice is that the date, model and serial numbers are hand-struck into the badge - they are not part of a sequential, machine rolled series. This means that anyone could have struck those numbers into a blank plaque at any given time. It also certainly dates from 1963 or later, fwiw. I also find it odd that it's engraved by the Bureau of Census - it may have been in use there, sure, but if this had been presented as a commemorative to one of the principal individuals involved in the project, wouldn't you expect it to bear their name? It's almost as if the Bureau of Census made up & presented this item, rather than execs or department heads from Remington-Rand. On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 11:31 PM, A. P.
