Ohio 1888 Exposition/GAR Badge
|
|
SOLD!!!
A great badge worn by a GAR member at the 1888 Ohio Exposition. The 1888 National GAR Encampment was held in Columbus during the Centennial celebration and this badge was worn by GAR members at the celebration! The top hanger is a light metal with Columbus and six stars on it. The ribbon is red, white, and blue. On the front of the bottom drop is a mountain man, Indian, and it looks like Lady Liberty. Written around the figures is "Ohio Centennial 1788 - 1888". On the back of the drop is written "Exposition Columbus Sep. 4 - Oct.19. GAR - Sep. 10-15" with the seal of the state of Ohio. The National Encampment was between September 10 - 15, 1888. This badge might have been a pass for GAR veterans to enter the Centennial Exhibit. A very neat badge for two great Ohio events. |
