The Western Military Institute was a preparatory school and college located first in Kentucky, then in Tennessee. It was founded in 1847 in Georgetown, Kentucky, and it later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where it merged with Montgomery Bell Academy in 1867. The former campus is now Vanderbilt University's Peabody College. Alumni include prominent Confederate veterans and Southern politicians.

Reverse has a slightly bent shank with a raised mark in a depressed channel of “SCOVILL MFG. CO. WATERBURY.”

Button is Albert’s SU 430. [ad] [ph:L]
