Description
Wonderful U.S. Christian Commission Badge with 1864 Inscription. This rare emblem is actually a mark of appreciation in the riband shape of the classic Christian Commission emblem of the Civil War. It is uniquely inscribed in four lines "U. S. Christian Commission/ To the Mt. Holyoke Class of '64/ Sow we beside all waters/ Seminatores." The hand engraving is all clear and the piece retains its original t-bar pin fastener. This badge, with the class motto, was presented by the Commission to the members of the senior class at Mt. Holyoke in gratitude of their patriotism, generosity and work fulfilling "the wants of the army." Artifacts of this important wartime organization are most difficult to find particularly with such an interesting story surrounding its presentation. Full details accompany the piece.Auction Info
