Hover to zoom

This Sons of Union Veterans badge is in excellent condition, with a nice portrait drop pin featuring General John Reynolds – the iconic Lancaster native killed in the escalating early phases of the Battle of Gettysburg.

A base pin features a relief of a Conestoga Wagon, occupant, and driver being pulled by a team of equines against a pastoral backdrop. The reverse is stamped “THE WHITEHEAD AND HOAG CO. NEWARK, NJ”.

An undamaged patriotic ribbon reads “51^st ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR LANCASTER, PA. JUNE, 1931”.

The celluloid drop button pin is in good condition with original label reading “THE WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO. / BUTTONS, BADGES, NOVELTIES AND SIGNS / NEWARK, N.J.” Badge measures 1.4” x 4.1”.

A very uncommonly seen piece of SUV memorabilia with a clear link to the legendary General Reynolds.  A great piece for the collector of Civil War veterans’ items.  [cm][ph:L]
