2 MB - WWII USMC WATCH FOB This is a
beautiful piece for a US Marine. 7" long, tip to tip. The black
ribbon is in excellent condition, and the other parts are as well,
although they show normal, careful wear to the finish. Consists of a
fob in the middle, 1 1/2" wide, with the Marine Corps EGA in the
middle (eagle, globe, anchor). Around that are three enamel portions
in red, white and blue, each having a word that makes up "UNITED
STATES MARINE". The snap swivel at the top seems to function well. All in all, a very nice original vintage WWII piece. $75

the shape of a Lorraine Cross in bluff blue fired enamel, with
circular logo at center of eagle over shield with different object in
each of four quarters...the Caduceus, Maltese Cross, Greek Cross, and
Urn Lamp. At bottom is a Latin motto, translated to "Without God We
Can Do Nothing". The top arm as the word "SERVICE" and the bottom arm
as a "V". Screw back. The back is stamped "LGB/STERLING". Fine

8 MB - G.A.R. DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK
REUNION BADGE Civil War Union
Veteran’s Group (Grand Army of the Republic). Syracuse New York
1905. This is a three-piece badge with ribbon backing. All the metal
is tarnished gold washed brass. The ornate top bar has the design of
the G.A.R. badge at center, flanked by the words “DEPT OF/NEW YORK”.
It has a small rectangular pendant with the embossed picture of a
typewriter and the words “TYPE WRITER CITY”. It also supports a
red-white-blue ribbon stamped with “DELEGATE”, and supports a large
pendant in the shape of a knapsack with blanket roll on top, with the
enameled letters G.A.R. Below this is a red enamel oval frame with
the words “39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, SYRACUSE, NY, JUNE
21-22-1905”. This encircles a man’s bust, and there are crossed
cannon behind. Metal and enamel are fine. Ribbon dingy with some
edge wear. The hinge of the clasp is somewhat loose. As a point of
interest, the National Encampment in 1905 was in Denver, Colorado.

to members of the staff who organized the preparations for the
national encampment. Top bar reads “PALMER NATIONAL STAFF”. Pendant
has bust of an elderly man most likely “Palmer”, who must have headed
the arrangements committee/staff. Also reads “G.A.R./1892”. Reverse
of pendant reads “PRESENTED/BY/PALMER
STAFF/ASSOCIATION/1892/WASHINGTON”. Metal is excellent. Ribbon is
frayed, and a small piece loose. 2¾” high. Has original clasp.
