Title: How rare do you think this is? Post by: Donny B. on November 05, 2007, 22:53:46 pm Here's a Gene Berg badge that I got several years ago. Just curious, how rare do you think it is? I think it's pretty special and if you do let me know and I will tell the story.

Post by: Donny B. on November 06, 2007, 03:52:17 am Years ago I was talking with the Bergs about a sticker to promote the business. I came up with the Genuine Gene Berg Parts sticker. Dee gave me the go ahead to have some made for her. I did, but kept a few for myself (she knew) I sent a couple to my friend in Wells Maine. His name is Craig Merrow. He is a very creative fellow and made a mold to cast the badge. It was a little larger than the sticker and he made three. He sent me one, kept one for himself and sent one to Clyde Berg. Dee was a little concerned that someone would make them then sell them so Craig sent them the master for the mold. As near as I know there are only three in existence and I am fortunate enough to own one of them. That's the story. Craig cast them out of aluminum in his home made forge. Craig is a very talented guy. He has become a great long distance friend like many out there. I need to get Craig on the Lounge!
