Item Description
3.75" tall with ribbons in school colors and top metal frame with bar pin on back. Suspension has highly domed front with 22 men, most in uniforms. Reverse is flat celluloid with "UP" at center of state keystone symbol while below is maker's text "Torsch & Lee Balto. Pat. Jan. 30, 1894". Patent dates do not often equal issue dates, but based on similarly made other items we've handled, 1894 seems accurate. Small bit of color off the lower fabric edges. Exc. Rare. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
