Willys employee ID tag
« on: December 28, 2018, 08:34:26 PM »
Rediscovered this employee ID tag I bought a few years ago while recently sorting out a small "catch all" box of odds & ends. Solid metal back with a hinged pin/clasp.
Fully restored '54 Aero Lark
Rusty '58 Austin Healey 100-Six
Barely running'74 Chevelle Malibu

That is an employees plant badge but I am not sure for what year,  There are similar ones for Willys Overland, Willys Overland Motors, Kaiser Jeep Corporation and Willys WCD which stood for Willys Carburetor-Dyno Division.  There were guard badges with the name Willys Motors and two with Kaiser-Willys also.  Willys made many different cars over the years and now survives making Jeeps under the ownership of Chrysler-Fiat.
