| Johnsmith's loves1368 of 1825 |  |  |
Wow sweet. The medal with the eagle over the cannons..I have the bottom piece to this. I had never given it any thought before it might be part of a GAR medal.
The silver sheild is missing the top :( but looks to be sterling and is dated on the back. Dec 28 1868 I think
The watch fob with the great seal has initials someone put on it looks like HB, they must of loved it.
The stickpin I'm going have to clean before I can read it.
The item under the ribbon is a Little Orphan Annie Secret Society pin
As soon as my batteries charge I'll take better pictures. They were sacrified to the great Xbox paddles.
I found something on the sheild piece. It was a personal ID tag soldiers would order. I found it on a metal detector site. It might be more interesting if it had a name on it.
It's a Masonic protective association medal. (some kind of Masonic insurance) Pays sickness and accidnet indemnity to Masons Only. In case of injury telegraph ID number. "I will identify if injured or unconscious" on the back.
I swear I have dyslexia typing in the morning
