Item Description
2-7/8" tall silvered brass badge by W&H, missing a ribbon once on reverse bar below the pin. This is an incredible one day event badge. Two weeks after his March 4, 1905 inauguration, TR and his wife traveled to NYC so TR, at an afternoon wedding, could give his niece Miss Eleanor Roosevelt in marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, her fifth cousin once removed. The second purpose of the trip was for TR to make an address to honor St. Patrick's Day at a dinner that night before the group named on the badge "Friendly Sons of St. Patrick". The badge obverse includes portraits of George Washington and TR, the group founding date of 1784 and the slogan "Erin Go Bragh". All this surrounds the word "Hier" below an image of a serpent at the feet of St. Patrick. Reverse text: "121st Anniversary Banquet Friendly Sons Of St. Patrick In New York Delmonico's March 17, 1905". One known to us. Exc.
