Each of these large, ornate badges displays fabulous workmanship. Two are dated 1896 and very likely the other two are 1896 as well. The first has a paper label on reverse and likely this company made all four. All have reverse pins. The label reads: "Manufactured by F.A. Bernhard & Co./383 Eight Ave.,/Cor. 29th St. New York/Gold And Silver Medals,/Regalias, Badges, Rosettes, Banners And Flags." This first (and smallest) badge is 4.5" tall. The engraved aluminum and pink accent color center plate reads "AAAGT" (meaning unknown to us). Gold on pink lower ribbons read: "United Republican Club/23rd Assembly Dist./1896." NM. Second is 6.25" tall with fancy brass bar pin. Engraved aluminum center horseshoe reads "A.R. Page Rep. Ass'n Fin. Secy." Small .5" stress line on fabric to left of the silver tassels. Rest is NM. Third is 5.25" tall. Sunburst design aluminum center holds celluloid reading "1st Vice Pres't." Gold on pale green ribbons read "Federal Republican Club/1896." Some curling on the ends of the ribbons forming the rosette but no damage. NM. Last is largest at 8" tall and most ornate. Nice luster on fancy brass bar pin. Engraved large central aluminum piece has red/blue/silver flags above circle designed like a badge reading "President." Lower left ribbon reads "Federal Republican Club." Right lower ribbon has trivial .5" stress line but all else is Mint. A remarkable quartet of amazing 1896 era ribbon badges.
