SOLD!!!
Another great Ohio state encampment badge. This one is from the 1915 Ohio state encampment at Mansfield, Ohio. The badge has three pieces. The top hanger has the GAR logo, "Representative" and "49th Department Encampment Ohio" on it. A red, whie, and blue ribbon attaches the hanger to the drop. The bottom drop is large and very heavy. That is why you find so many of the drops but few of the complete badges. On the drop it says "Major McLaughlin's Squadron O.V.C. Sept. 28, 1861 - Wm. McLaughlin - Capt. Co.A, 3rd Ohio Vol. Inf. Mexican War, Capt. Co. I, 1st Ohio Inf., April 17, 1861". On the back of the drop it says "Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building, Mansfield, Ohio".
