Title	[Dockweiler badge]
Creator	Unknown
Date Published	[1938]
Description	A small metal badge which reads "DOCKWEILER" in dark blue ink on a tan background. Extending from the upper edge of the badge is a rounded tab intended to be folded over a pocket, lapel, or other edge to secure the badge in place. The manufacturer's logo is printed on the tab.
Historical Background	The Dockweiler family has been closely intertwined with Los Angeles religious, political, and civic life. John Francis Dockweiler (d. 1943) was one of thirteen children born to Isidore Dockweiler (1867-1947) and Gertrude Reeve Dockweiler (1871-1937), eleven of whom survived infancy. John Francis followed in his father's political footsteps, serving as a Democratic U.S. Congressman (1933-1939), District Attorney of Los Angeles County (1940-1943), and running unsuccessfully for governor of California in the 1938 Democratic primary.
