Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 6:47 pm I see a listing for a similar piece here: https://www.lastdodo.com/en/items/5...england-1926 They describe it as a "souvenir token", but that oblong hole makes me think that it was attached to a ribbon, or strap of some sort when it was issued. I'll keep digging to see what I can find. Added: I found a couple other listings across the interwebs, but no new information. I spent some time on the NSCDA website and took a couple virtual tours of their museums, but didn't see this piece on display. To further your research, you might reach out to the contact listed on their website. If you do end up getting more info, please circle back to this thread though so that we can all learn what you have.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25093 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 7:02 pm Thanks, Spence. I've dug and dug. At least I learned about the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America. They do like their medals! There's one on ebay for $50. And I have at least a dozen of them. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
