A very good condition die-struck rolled brass plate, slightly convex, measuring 2-1/2” by 1-3/4” and fitted with two brass wire loops on the back for attachment to the flap of a cartridge box. The US eagle at center does not show any tail feathers, has raised wings, a US shield with stars and stripes on its chest and clutches arrows and an olive branch. This is similar to O’Donnell & Campbell Plate 576, though that plate seems to differ slightly in size and to have had a backing removed and iron wire loops added.

A very good example with a medium, aged patina, small dark spot at bottom center on the face and some other thin dark or reddish-brown areas on the reverse, a slight ding to the edge at upper right and very shallow dimple below that.  [sr][ph:L]
