Post-Revolutionary War to Civil War
Extremely Rare c. 1826 Commemorative Silk Ribbon With “ARMY OF THE REVOLUTION JULY 4, 1776.” Legend
c. 1826 Commemorative 50th Anniversary Signing of the Declaration of Independence, “ARMY OF THE REVOLUTION JULY 4, 1776.” Printed Legend, Black Print on off-White Silk Ribbon, Very Fine.
This Extremely Rare Patriotic Silk Ribbon measures 2.25” x 6” no-date, apparently celebrating the 50th year after the Signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. The silk ribbon with a central design of a Laurel Wreath surrounding the text: “ARMY OF THE REVOLUTION JULY 4, 1776.” Lightly worn, it was undoubtedly actually worn by a member of the Continental Army for the 50th Anniversary, in celebrating in 1826 the Signing of the Declaration. This would also be the very same July 4th, where both Ex: Presidents and Signers, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson would die, literally within hours of one another. A highly significant, very early, and highly important historical American Commemorative Silk Ribbon. The very first we have seen and offered.
