Item Description
2-5/8x8.5" ribbon with vertical stickpin and name card of predecessor to Whitehead and Hoag on reverse. Card reads "Whitehead & Clark Badge Makers/And Society Printers/167 Halsey Street. Newark, N.J." Below this cello image of Harrison is imprint of their competitors, an early firm to print on celluloid, reading "Baldwin & Gleason Co. LD. N.Y. Pat'd 1886." Gold text on ribbon reads "Harrison & Morton/Banking, Insurance & Real Estate Club,/Newark N.J. Nov. 12, '88." Some very tiny loss of gold on a few letters or numbers of the text but about 97% complete and extremely clean and fresh. Celluloid portrait combined with Whitehead & Clark name makes this a true rarity. NM.
