Tommymonkey192 Posted October 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2012 I picked this up for $5.00 today from a friend who owns an antique shop. Being that the national convention was held in New York that year, this must have been a state convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBeyer Posted October 2, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2012 A good rule of thumb for Veterans' Organization reunion badges is that if they say "ANNUAL" instead of "NATIONAL", then the badge is a state encampment. This goes for G.A.R., U.S.W.V., as well as the American Legion. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted October 2, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 2, 2012 From the construction and weight I suspect that this is a watch fob. Very neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted October 3, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 3, 2012 Very good! So, it is a badge rather than a fob. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBeyer Posted October 4, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 4, 2012 It is my opinion that if you new the true history of every item which is referred to as a watch fob, you will find a lot of them have their origins as veterans' reunion badge pendants! :-) Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
