Item Description
1.75" button has back paper from Allentown maker Schlechter. Paper has a hairline vertical tear but just barely showing. This item is listed as Hake #3131 although the book version has only the 2" American flag ribbon whereas this version has a larger 3.5" backing ribbon imprinted in brilliant silver at the bottom "Division No. 2/City Of Allentown/Pennsylvania." There was a little surface dirt on the lower part of the Wilson photo that may or may not show up in our photo but vast majority of this has been removed and the piece is NM displaying Mint. Both ribbons are held by the collet as issued. 2004 Guide value of $400.00. Julie Powell Collection.
