Rare and desirable bronze plaque, 6.5 x 6.25, featuring a five-star frame, each of which encloses a symbol of the war: crossed rifles, cannons, bugle, anchor, and crossed swords. On the reverse side are three bronze hasps by which it was attached to a flagstaff and carried in a G.A.R. parade. These parades, which died out around 1930 due to the dwindling number of Union veterans, were held in various cities with the veterans in their military dress, some on horseback, some pulling cannons, etc. In fine condition, with the expected wear.
