Description

The image shows an antiqued metal plaque with a weathered finish, prominently displaying the text "Rood & Vaughan, Salem, Mass." Below it, the plaque details patent dates: April 6, 1886, June 5, 1888, and April 23, 1889. No other mention could be found doing simple Google and CoPilot searches about the Roods & Vaughn Company. We can only assume that Rood & Vaughan manufactured matchines to clean and shave fresh hides. The three patents on the badge are for shaving and dressing green hides. They are: April 6, 1886, was Patent US339323A. June 5, 1888, was Patent US383914A. April 23, 1889, was Patent US401905A.
