Can we get a better photo of the back?? I you are using a scanner, I doubt it. Focal range will limit it.

 

[nyiangelo]

Yeah it was a scanned pic. It's just too small to take a good pic with my camera. On the side of the back is two clips. On the bottom of the back is a hole like you would see on suspender clips.

Still haven't found anything. I'm pretty sure it stands for O negative. I've sent a couple emails out to people that are into Civil War medicine. Maybe they will help.

Friend, with respect, I think you are on a wrong track.
I am sure you have a badge/pin/? showing the name of O.N. Blood as the sole Licensee, being the person to hold the Licence .
Check out historical records for the surname 'Blood', in the area you found the treasure.

Looks as if it might be a clasp similar to the one shown at the top of the sample case in the photo.

Blood typing is a 20th cent. thing.

1901- Austrian physician Karl Landsteiner publishes a paper detailing his discovery of the three main human blood groups -- A, B, and C, which he later changes to O.

Sounds like a great ID but why cant I see the pic? All I see is an x in a little square.

I don't know. It was a good link with a picture. All I see is an "x" too. My the photo was pulled.

I know it takes up disc space and there may be a copyright problem, but I like to post the pic along with the link. I think the old "What Is Its" are invaluable as a reference and should be saved by Marc and would make a great database or book someday. Some auction photos like those on eBay do not stay online very long.
