    Description

    USA SALES ONLY.  SORRY
    I believe this
    very rare badge
    is from the
    Pacific Electric Wire and Cable Co
    ., Ltd. but
    I am not sure.
    It is the only badge of a company or organization with these initials that I can find which includes the 4 letters in this order.
    Because it also shows
    wires (cables?) extending from a pole or the like, I think this is it.
    I must leave the final decision to you, however.
    The reverse of the badge includes the wording CHILDS CHICAGO, this being the apparent manufacturer.
    (I believe this is the former
    S. D .Childs & Company)
    The badge has a screw-on capture nut apparently of brass.  It fits perfectly.
    (Please note there is also an organization named the
    P
    ro
    E
    lite
    W
    orld
    C
    hampions which involves barrel racing with horses. I do not believe this could be it).
    If P.E.W.C.:
    If the
    Pacific Electric Wire & Cable Company,
    Ltd., , this company was
    the first established electric wire and cable company formed in in Taiwan
    on Apr. 14, 1950 and was originally named Pacific Wire Manufacture Factory prior to changing its name to simply PEWC on Dec. 30, 1957 for the purpose of broadening business. PEWC has two production plants in Taiwan -- Dashi Plant and Yangmei Plant in Taoyuan. The Dashi Plant , covering an area of about 373,554 square meters, mainly produces power cables, communication cables, fiber optics cables, bare cooper wires, and bare aluminum wires.
