The picture shows this 1916 Republican State Convention Ribbon. Beginning at the top there is a fancy brass frame pin with a "DELEGATE" celluloid insert. Hanging from it is a blue ribbon with gold print that reads: REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION PORTLAND MARCH 23, 1916 Hanging from the ribbon is a brass framed and colorfully detailed celluloid button. The button pictures a star, deer, and pine tree in the background and in the foreground is the image of two men. One is a farmer and the other a sailor. The word "DIRIGO" appears on a banner between them and "MAINE" at the bottom. All three sections are marked on the back: WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO. NEWARK, N.J. It measures 3-1/2" long and is in near mint - mint condition. |
