Tom Y Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I've posted this before, but think it bears showing again. At first glance it appears to be a well used Telegraph buckle.
Tom Y Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 But on closer inspection...[attachmentid=50823]Made me rethink the manufacturing methods.
Guest Rick Research Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 It's like the watches nurses wear pinned on their blouses.This was obviously the buckle of a female telegraphist.
Daniel Murphy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Tom, That is a great piece. The crown is rightside up and the motto / wreath is upside down. They must have made these with a removable motto die so that they could use the main die for other states as well. Dan Murphy
lach470 Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 WOW....that is ODD! First time I see anything like that! Very cool indeed!!!!Rob
Paul R Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Very interesting piece! I have never before seen such a flaw. It looks like it was actually issued and worn!Paul
