Interesting little shield...

[corpsman]

found this interesting little goodie today while hunting downtown Nashville, TN. It reads: " J. FRANKLAND & CO. DRY GOODS NASHVILLE, TENN " I did a small amount of research, and came across a newspaper article from May of 1868 with an article describing an after hours robbery that occurred at the business.
