GAR Minneapolis Club 1906

[sdbs56]

I am hoping someone can help me out. I recently got some items from an estate sale and inside one of the wooden trinket boxes was a GAR ribbon and a metal souvenir heart shaped pin.

The ribbon is blue and has a bar with Colo. & Wyo. on it and an attached photograph of a gentleman.

The heart pin reads 40th Nat'l Encampment Minneapolis 1906 and the date on the sides of Aug 13 - 16.

 

Am I safe in assuming that a member of the Colo. & Wyo. GAR attended the Minneapolis encampment?

Any suggestions on how to find out who the man is in the picture?

 

I am very intrigued with these items and would appreciate help.

Thank you,

Sam

And this is a picture of the pin.

Is there any value on items like these?
