Item Description
3.25” tall fabric and brass shell badge holding a cardboard photo of Blaine’s 1884 running mate. Logan was a General in the Civil War and then served as both a Congressman and U.S. Senator. This is actually a memorial badge in his honor used at the 21st National Encampment and includes text on the circle surrounding his photo “St. Louis, Mo. 1887”. Logan passed away a few months prior to the event on December 26, 1886. Slight tone on the fabric ribbon and the horizontal bar pin is missing from the reverse of the eagle but the brass luster and photo itself are NM. A rare and very limited issue badge.
