Patrons of Husbandry Ribbon, Charlton (Massachusetts) Grange, Early 1900s

Collectibles : Fraternal Groups

 

This is a ribbon badge from Charlton Grange No. 92, in Massachusetts. The ribbon is dark blue with gold ink printing. There is an attractive celluloid pin at the top of the ribbon with two flags and the letters “P. H.”, set in a curved gilt metal frame.

Hanging from the pin is a second ribbon in red, white and blue, with a circular celluloid button printed with symbols of the Patrons of Husbandry organization. Gold fringe edges the bottom.

On the back of the blue ribbon is the manufacturers label – Fuller Regalia & Costume Co., in Worcester, Massachusetts. Fuller Regalia, was in business in Worcester only up to 1903, so this badge would date to the turn of the 19th century.

This piece is in very good condition except that the celluloid button is browned, and a little rusty on the back.

Also included is a much later item, a First Prize ribbon from the Charlton Grange Fair, dated 1962.

These items will be protectively boxed and shipped by first class mail, with postal insurance included within the US. International postal insurance may be declined if not desired.
