1886 SAN FRANCISCO NATIONAL DELEGATE BADGE - Among the
hardest to obtain with only 489 delegates. This badge was originally issued
with the typical gold ribbon. When I received this it had the post officer flag
ribbon pinned to the pin bar and drop. Those old straight pins are shown
and included. I thread tacked the three pieces together for presentation
purposes. Close examination shows the original pin holes from these pins.
These early delegate badges were not as elaborate as the later badges. This is
made of white metal. The back of the pin bar has a patent date of Feb. 23,
1886 and the back of the GAR star states "Member of the 20th National
Encampment GAR San Francisco 1886".

MICHIGAN MONUMENT DEDICATION AT GETTYSBURG -
Approx. 6 3/8" x 8 1/4" invitation for the dedication of the
Michigan monuments at Gettysburg on June 12, 1889. This
invitation went to Hon. Aaron T. Bliss, who at the time was U.S.
Congressman and would later become the Governor of Michigan
from 1901-1904 and was also a Department Commander in the
GAR. The invitation is on brittle board and paper, has several partial
separations at the folds and one chip out of the paper portion on the
lower right corner. The ribbons for this event are highly desirable
and are difficult to find and the invitations are almost impossible to
find.

GAR MEMBERSHIP BADGE - 4TH STYLE - Medal of Honor pattern,
these were made by A. Demerest in New York and made from captured
Confederate cannon. His name is visible below the two Veterans shaking
hands. On the lower point of the star on the reverse side, along the edge is
'Patent / Dec. 28, 1869'. Still has a good finish, ribbon has been repaired at
bottom along a portion of the star 'suspension bar' with either a glue or
maybe nail polish (?) - actually doesn't look too bad.

coarse the eagle 'Old Abe' was from the 8th Wisconsin - so is

Kansas where they did have a GAR Post. Photo in good

Union Ex-POW's held in Boston on August 15, 1904. This was not held
with the GAR National Encampment (that was held in Salt Lake City in
1909). Ribbon has condition issues as there is separation as can be spotted
in the 'Additional Images' photos. The pin is still intact which inflicted
some of the damage. I was told this ribbon is nearly always found in this
condition due to the extra width and light fabric.
