The brothel inspectors actually served as both health inspectors and tax collectors. The small rooms above the bar in which the girls worked each had a small box outside. The patron would purchase a token from the bartender and deposit it in the box of the girl of his choice. At the end of the night, the tokens were tallied, each girl was paid her due, and the numbers were kept on ledgers. These ledgers were the basis upon which the inspectors collected tax. This Kansas City Brothel Inspector Badge recreates one such badge from the West. The badge is crafted from solid copper and features an antique silver finish. It has also been double die struck to ensure the best detailing possible. The badge features a soldered pin on the back, ensuring that the badge can be either displayed or worn as a personal accessory.
