MARK ON BACK AMER EMB CO INC UTICA NY.

I have not seen that variant, either. If original, indeed WWI. I have not extensively studied disks yet, but I venture to say this is a good, interesting variant

I have never heard of one and I don't believe either of the two recent references speak of it. Has signs of an original though. Looking forward to some if the experts weighing in.

I PICKED UP ABOUT EITHER 27 OR 30 WWI COLLAR DISK TODAY THAT WERE MOUNTED ON A BRASS SHEET WITH A AMERICAN LEGION EMBLEM IN THE CENTER. THIS WAS THE ONLY USMC ONE ON IT. I BELIEVE THE PLACK HUNG IN THE AMERICAN LEGION. THERE WERE 2 OTHER PLACKS THERE ALSO . BUT THEY HAD BUTTONS ON THEM. THIS WAS AT AN ESTATE SALE TODAY. THE OTHER ITEMS HAD ALREADY SOLD AND THEY WERE ALL SPAN AM - WW1 ITEMS. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS. I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN ALSO. ED

Well I think I found it in the recent reference book by Frederick Brieuers. On page 118 ega number B273 he describes this disc and the maker mark. I have sure never seen one, but I am still learning slot in this field. Looks to me like you found a good one and I suspect not one too often encountered. Too bad it isn't a pair. Kevin

THANKS FOR FINDING IT WARGUY . AND YES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO GET A SET. THANKS AGAIN ED

I'll have to go through my photo collection...I vaguely remember seeing something like this on a collar and thinking how strange, but chalking it off to the grainy photo quality

[BND173D]

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE IT BEING WORN. ANOTHER COLLECTOR SAID THEY WERE WORN WITH THE US COLLAR DISK BUT NO PHOTOS / PROOF OF ANYONE WEARING THEM. ED

[Spearhead]

That's a great find. I saw one of these at SOS after it exchanged hands. Congrats!

[BND173D]

HAVE HAD A FEW PEOPLE ASK TO BUY THIS, ANYONE KNOW WHAT A FAIR PRICE WOULD BE. THANKS

[EGA-DOG]

Great find!
