Grand Army of the Republic Paperweight


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I just acquired two Grand Army of the Republic Paperweights and was hoping someone would have any information on them.

 

- Age?

- Composition?

- Identifying logo/symbol

 

Cheers,

 

Lou

I have the same style paper weight that commemorated February 15th 1898 (Remember the Maine!).

 

So probably turn of the century. Symbol is probably just a generic branch of service composition (Infantry, Cavalry, Navy). The more formal GAR symbols had a more elaborate symbol usually.
