The "Stinkin' Badge" phrase is definitely
an Old West to Modern Day legend!

Originating on the movie, "Treasure of the Sierra Madre",
starring Humphrey Bogart, and later adaped in the
Mel Brooks movie, "Blazing Saddles", it is now
heard regularly on TV dramas and sitcoms.

These originals, designed by Lynn Miller, are made with
sterling silver or yellow bronze.
