Jim1932,

From the information I have they started in 1932 they were still using them in 1954. They switched to a plastic photo ID sometime later. I don't have the exact date.

Let me know the letter proceding the number on your badge I can at least tell you what part of the Rouge plant it was issued to. They used most of the letters from A to Z.

A- was Motor Assembly. 1932 and later Rouge badges.
B -was Motor Crankshaft. "
C- was Maintenance. "

Model A badges were different.

"River Rouge" was where the Rouge plant was located next to the Rouge River, The tankers and ore carriers came in on the Rouge River to the palnt and unloaded. Ford Motor Co. owned their own fleet.
