Jammii Posted July 24, 2014 Author #4 Posted July 24, 2014 Back of lapel pin reads: us patent 1888 france
Dave Posted July 31, 2014 #6 Posted July 31, 2014 I would agree with firefighter that it appears to be a rosette from the Verdun medal, dating it to the immediate post-WW1 years.
KurtA Posted August 1, 2014 #7 Posted August 1, 2014 I think it's just a generic "red, white, & blue" patriotic lapel rosette.
firefighter Posted August 1, 2014 #8 Posted August 1, 2014 I think it's just a generic "red, white, & blue" patriotic lapel rosette. Obviously it could be, but it looks like there is way more red and then only a couple of white & blue stripes.
Jammii Posted August 17, 2014 Author #9 Posted August 17, 2014 Why would it be dated 1888, if the battle of Verdun was from 21st of February to 15th of December 1916.
12A54 Posted August 18, 2014 #10 Posted August 18, 2014 The patent is from 1888, not the item. These were made, I suspect, either from post-WWI through post WWII or just post-WWII. The reason I say that is because there are many examples of later US ribbons (through WWII) by this company/patent. Search "rosette" on eBay and you'll see many listed. I agree that this is the Verdun medal ribbon.
55rocker52 Posted October 8, 2014 #11 Posted October 8, 2014 Hello, I know this is a little late to reply to this topic, but I have found a site, if you haven't already, all on these rosettes. Which from what I have found, are still being made today. Yours however is probably dated as its patent date. That's what I am guessing, and the one fellow is probably correct, it being a Verdun medal rosette. The site is: www.frontiernet.net/~jackiebush/Rosette.html Thanks, KT
menelder1941 Posted April 17, 2017 #12 Posted April 17, 2017 The Rosette is the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, see web site-http://www.frontiernet.net/~jackiebush/pages/USA_Rosettes.html The rosettes are arranged by color, so go down to the Blue, White, Red part to see them. It is my web site.
