Lee with two Confederate flags and "Member". The second piece has "Forrest Cavalry Corps". All of the enamel is missing on this badge. Please see the photos.

SOLD!!! One of the more difficult 1913 50th Anniversary Gettysburg to find. Very few veterans attended this reunion from Washington state. This great badge is approximately 10 1/4 inches long. The hanger has George Washington and "State of Washington" on it. Hanging from the hanger is a flag ribbon with a drop attached. The drop says "Gettysburg Reunion 1913". Also attached to the hanger is a white ribbon with "Veteran from the State of Washington to the Gettysburg Reunion - July 1,2,3, & 4, 1913 - 1863 - 1913". I have been told only 166 veterans from Washington came to this reunion. I just know these are very hard badges to find!

Here is a nice Joseph Hooker Pinback in a brass holder with a red, white, and blue ribbon.

The badge was made by C.S. Cole & Co., 185 So. Clark Street, Chicago, Ill. Please note the small seperations by the bear.

SOLD!!! This is one of the hardest GAR national badges to find and this one is identified. This great badge was worn by J.M. Hunter, Commander George H. Thomas Post #13, Cincinnati, Ohio. Hunter must have liked Minnesota because he moved there later in his life. With this hard to find badge is J.M. Hunter's GAR card made especially for the 1884 National reunion. Also included is the "Roll of the Eighteen Annual Encampment G.A.R. held at Minneapolis, Minn., July, 1884". This 18 page booklet has names of delegates at the reunion. J.M. Hunter was very active in the GAR and served as the National Inspector General. He also invented the flour sifter that was standard in every kitchen for years. Hunter served in the 50th NY Engineers and was a really interesting guy!

SOLD!!! Here is another tough GAR National badge to find. This is the 1888 Columbus GAR National badge. THe bronze, pin-back top suspension bar is inscribed "Columbus". Below that is an oval inscribed "1888", flanked by olive branches. Two bronze suspension chains support a bronze buckeye inscribed "G.A.R.". The buckeye is hinged and opens to reveal a profile bust of general U.S. Grant on one side and the inscription "Twenty Second National Encampment G.A.R. Columbus, Ohio Sept. 11, 1888" on the other. The badge is backed with a yellow, swallow-tail ribbon. There are two ribbons behind this badge and they are weak.

SOLD!!! This is a great North Carolina piece! This ribbon was worn by North Carolina veterans at the 1904 UCV Nashville reunion. The length of this ribbon is approximately 7 1/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches wide. There are two Confederate battle flags on the ribbon with a North Carolina tar heel in the middle. This will be a great one to add to your collection.

SOLD!!! Here is another hard to find North Carolina UCV piece! This great piece has three pieces together and each one would command a great price by itself. The first thing you notice about this badge is the celluloid N.C. Pine Tar barrel. This celluloid is approximately 2 3/4 inches long. There are no chips or tears in this celluloid. The next piece is a metal foot with a tar heel. On the foot it says "1861 - 1865 - 115,000 Voters - TAR HEELS - 127,000 Soldiers". Most of the "tar" has been rubbed off the heel. There is a small amount of rust on the middle toe. The foot is approximately 2 5/8 inches long. The third piece is a brass cross much like the Southern Cross. On the cross is an enameled Confederate battle flag and "First of Bethel, Foremost at Gettysburg, Farthest at Chickamauga, Last at Appomattox" around the flag. All three of these pieces are very hard to find and you never see the three pieces together!

SOLD!!! Here are two pieces of the 1929 Charlotte UCV National Badge. The top piece is the state of North Carolina. The bottom drop has Lee and Stonewall Jackson on it with a Confederate battle flag.
