t_player Posted March 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2020 Found this small old dish at a flea market about 20 years ago. Shows lots of wear with most of the gold worn off around the edges. Could it have been a item given away at a GAR event in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted March 21, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2020 Not likely to be a GAR item. The GAR probably would have used one of their own buttons and they usually were not so simple in their designs, i.e., there would conspicuous use of "GAR" or "1861-1865" or the GAR badge.This one is too subdued to be GAR.

museums Posted March 24, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2020 What's the size? (specifically, the round piece in the center). The center piece looks like a federal cartridge box shoulder strap plate- which would measure around 2 3/8" give or take. The roughness makes it look cast though?

mikie Posted March 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2020 Maybe it's some kind of Bannerman type surplus thingee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
