hhbooker2 Posted August 14, 2008 #1 Posted August 14, 2008 "GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!" I bid on and won over ten years on eBay Auction a 1917 "American Orders & Socities and Their Decorations" by Bailey, Biddle & Banks Company. I would like to share my good find with you good folks here. When I show embossed colour plates of medals and decorations, most worn by high-ranking officers of the Army, Marines, and Navy, will sdhow also the onion-skin papers with names and descriptions of each item. This is a scarce to rare book/catalogue. Enjoy!
