2 MB  -  WWII USMC WATCH FOB  This is a beautiful piece for a US Marine.  7" long, tip to tip.  The black ribbon is in excellent condition, and the other parts are as well, although they show normal, careful wear to the finish.  Consists of a fob in the middle, 1 1/2" wide, with the Marine Corps EGA in the middle (eagle, globe, anchor).  Around that are three enamel portions in red, white and blue, each having a word that makes up "UNITED STATES MARINE".  The snap swivel at the top seems to function well.  All in all, a very nice original vintage WWII piece.  $75  Sale Price $50

3 MB  -  LIBERTY HEAD "COIN" PIECE  Uncertain of this age, or use, other than hanging from the neck or a medal/badge.  Lightweight stamped piece, 7/8" in diameter.  Has a coppery tone to it, but uncertain what type of metal, likely brass.  $95  Sale Price $65

4 MB  -  WWII VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN MEDAL MADE FROM CAPTURED GERMAN CANNON  1 1/4" in diameter.  One side has an eagle under the US Treasury Building and the words "VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN".  The other side has the words "AWARDED / BY THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT FOR PATRIOTIC SERVICE IN BEHALF OF THE LIBERTY LOANS.  Around the edge are the words "MADE FROM CAPTURED GERMAN CANNON".  Very tiny couple spots of erosion.  $65  Sale Price $40

7 MB  -  AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION LAPEL BADGE    The AHA began as an informal gathering of eight hospital superintendents in 1899, and ultimately formalized in 1927.  It would appear that the pin is fairly rare and early.  It is only 5/8" and in the shape of a Lorraine Cross in bluff blue fired enamel, with circular logo at center of eagle over shield with different object in each of four quarters...the Caduceus, Maltese Cross, Greek Cross, and Urn Lamp.  At bottom is a Latin motto, translated to "Without God We Can Do Nothing". The top arm as the word "SERVICE" and the bottom arm as a "V". Screw back. The back is stamped "LGB/STERLING".  Fine condition.  $15  Sale Price $10

8 MB  -  G.A.R. DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK REUNION BADGE     Civil War Union Veteran’s Group (Grand Army of the Republic).  Syracuse New York 1905.  This is a three-piece badge with ribbon backing.  All the metal is tarnished gold washed brass.  The ornate top bar has the design of the G.A.R. badge at center, flanked by the words “DEPT OF/NEW YORK”.  It has a small rectangular pendant with the embossed picture of a typewriter and the words “TYPE WRITER CITY”.  It also supports a red-white-blue ribbon stamped with “DELEGATE”, and supports a large pendant in the shape of a knapsack with blanket roll on top, with the enameled letters G.A.R.  Below this is a red enamel oval frame with the words “39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, SYRACUSE, NY, JUNE 21-22-1905”.  This encircles a man’s bust, and there are crossed cannon behind.  Metal and enamel are fine.  Ribbon dingy with some edge wear.  The hinge of the clasp is somewhat loose.  As a point of interest, the National Encampment in 1905 was in Denver, Colorado.  $40  Sale Price $20

9 MB  -  G.A.R. 1892 PRESENTATION BADGE FOR 26th NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT   Two-piece bronze badge with yellow ribbon backing (my photo looks like the ribbon is green).  Apparently given to members of the staff who organized the preparations for the national encampment.  Top bar reads “PALMER NATIONAL STAFF”.  Pendant has bust of an elderly man most likely “Palmer”, who must have headed the arrangements committee/staff.  Also reads “G.A.R./1892”.  Reverse of pendant reads “PRESENTED/BY/PALMER STAFF/ASSOCIATION/1892/WASHINGTON”.  Metal is excellent.  Ribbon is frayed, and a small piece loose.  2¾” high.  Has original clasp.  $20  Sale Price $10
