Tom Y Posted August 21, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 It's like the watches nurses wear pinned on their blouses.This was obviously the buckle of a female telegraphist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted August 21, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
