Columbus Police Department uniform button, 25mm size, executed in gilt metal and associated with municipal law enforcement in Columbus. This button features the department’s recognised device in clear relief, incorporating a central city emblem with surrounding legend “Ohio Columbus Police Department”, all set within a bordered field and finished in a gilt tone characteristic of traditional American uniform fittings.
The Columbus Police Department, established in the nineteenth century, forms part of the civic infrastructure of Ohio’s state capital, maintaining law and order across the city. Buttons of this type were worn on tunics, dress coats, and formal uniforms by officers, reflecting departmental identity and rank. The gilt finish denotes a higher-quality presentation often associated with dress or parade uniforms.
Manufactured in gilt metal with a loop shank fitting to the reverse, this example provides a well-defined representation of American police insignia. Columbus Police buttons are collected as examples of law enforcement memorabilia, municipal uniform components, and U.S. civic service history.
