To my eye, this one as good as it gets as far an old employee photo ID badges go, between the SUN and SHIP and sunny yellow, and the H SHUTT and large mug shot style numbers and of course the headshot itself. I can't help but to imagine this as just the sort of ID badge that aliens manning a UFO would make for their abductees as they beamed the onto their Sunship! (Shutting in our H Shutt and taking him away!)
The Sun Ship here in fact stands for the Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Company, a major American shipyard located in Chester, Pennsylvania, especially active during World War II. I believe this badge dates to that era.
2" in diameter. Genera wear and age toning as evident, all of a piece with it. Pin back in good condition, closes and clasps as it should.
