A wonderful photograph of the Grand Army of the Republic National Commander Russell C. Martin. Martin was National Commander from June 1933 until the end of his 1934 term. He filled in in 1933 after Commander William P. Wright died in office. This photograph has Martin standing with his wife. Martin is wearing two badges. He is wearing his 4 star Commander-in-Chief badge and a 2 star Department Commander presentation badge. He also has four stars on his hat wreath over the G.A.R. The photographers stamp on the back is "Peptone Snap Shots - Guaranteed Forever - Nov 21 '33". The photograph is approximately 4 inches by 3 inches.
A great photo of a Grand Army of the Republic post. There are several Spanish American War soldiers behind the old Civil War veterans. The photo is approximately 8 5/8 inches by 6 1/2 inches. The gray board has been cut down and it measures approximately 9 1/4 inches by 7 5/16 inches. The corner on the bottom left has been broken but is still attached. This does not affect the image of the old soldiers.
A nice group with a large photograph of a group of older men with two women. The man seated on the left is wearing a GAR uniform and his GAR membership badge. The other men are likely veterans but I can ssee no badges or lapel pins. In front of the men is a stereo viewer with a stack of stereo views. The photograph is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. On looking at the back there are names but unfortunately the photo has been trimmed and some of the first names are gone. The family's last name is Ebright. With the photograph is another photograph which is a 1920's copy of an Union soldier's CDV. This photograph is approximately the size of a cabinet card. On the back of this photo is "Wearing his Civil War Uniform - He was not 18 when he served." Unfortunately this photograph was trimmed also. A nice grouping.
A nice tintype of a GAR veteran with his family. The veteran is in the back and you can clearly see his post officer's badge! The tintype is approximately 3 5/8 inches by 2 3/8 inches.
A nice CDV of an Union veteran from Ohio. He is wearing a Soldier & Sailor Reunion ribbon. The back mark on this CDV is "L.M. Reck, Photographer, Galion, Ohio".
Here is a nice photograph of a GAR Post Commander in uniform. He is wearing his Post Commander's GAR badge and you can see the GAR buttons on his uniform. He is standing by a pedistal holding a rolled document. There is some light scratching on this cabinet card as seen in the photograph. There is no photographer mark or location mark.
