Did a little snooping around. All the medalions I could find had ribbons attached. Maybe yours had a ribbon at one time.

I would e-mail that guy Buckram mentioned in his post above and send him a pic of it, or the link to this thread and see what he thinks. Hes an expert and will either know about it or flip out because hes never seen one before. Try it. 8)

I think that you may find some info. from the G.A.R. that was an organization that was started for Vets.. union soldiers and now since the last civil war veteran died it no longer exist, but you can find G.A.R. musuems. I found a G.A.R. Medillion dated1907-1908 With the picture of A.C. Matthews the commander for the Ill. chapter. it was there 42nd. encampment at Quincy, Il. found it in my yard in Florida. along with coins from mexico, china, also a teas poon with the history of michagan engraved on it, dates 1610, also Jan, 26, 1837. picture of Lewis Cass he was Mi. first senator. I cant find out anything about this spoon. I also would like to find out anything. Still diggin
