There is indeed such a school.

Interesting!!! Alright I could be getting closer to an answer here! Thanks both!

I was at a vintage shop, and found this metal badge (which appears to be from some type of vehicle or machine) that was the perfect size to cover up an open cavity on the back of my guitar. Was curious about the origin, so I sent a pic to my dad, who's from NJ, and he suggested it could have some connection to the Bucks and Montgomery County in PA. I noticed there's a Bux-Mont transportation in PA, who have been around for over 70 years, which could date this badge. Figured I'd ask you good folks! Thanks, and love from Boston!
Edit: The vintage shop was in Downtown Manhattan. I know Manhattan isn't exactly next door to this area, but it's closer than other parts of the country, which could lead me to believe this is a PA-related item!

Thanks! Thrilled it fit on the back, and glad it's a real vintage piece!

I’m about 90% sure that this was on school buses in the 70s and 80s at least.

I believe you are right, when I went to high school in 2010s in bucks county area, I remember most buses still saying Bux Mont Transportation

Yes I live in the Bux-Mont area! Many companies around that use “bux-Mont” as an abbreviation of sorts!

Yes is the short answer. I'm not certain of the story but there's either a high school, or sports division, named like that. Certainly familiar to this Montco resident.
