Hi All,
I have a Ford Dearborn Plant employee badge number 7473. Is there any Ford archives or ways to search any information on this employee? I know there are a few historians on this forem so I thought to just ask.
Thanks to all of you for your awesome friendliness and expertise.
Regards, The Geezer


P.S. Looking for a 31 A drag link...FOUND ONE!

It’s mine. Can you mail to me, otherwise I’ll be docked pay for a new one. Glad someone found it!
 
That badge style started being used in 1937 and was used up through 1966. (from the reference book Ford Worldwide Employee Badges, ID Cards, Passes & Permits)

If you're trying to ID the person(s) assigned that ID number it is probably fairly difficult. You could try contacting the Benson Ford Research Center (https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/) to see if they have those records.

They are protective of employee records. I tried to get info on my uncles career. He was a V.P. and ended up running the Cleveland casting plant. He died 20+ years ago and they would not release/confirm any info.
 
Thanks for the reply. I certainly understand that, especially these crazy days. I was just curious. They had no info on the employee as you expected.

The Benson Ford center only has record of the Rouge and Highland Park from the 1940's-present. If they worked there, they can only verify but won't let you see the records.
