1896 Antique IOOF Patriarch Militant 1st. Reg. Mass Pilgrimage Buffalo, NY 1896 For Sale

This Authentic and Very Rare Independent Order of Odd Fellows Patriarch Militant First Regt. (Regiment) Mass Pilgrimage To National Cantonment in Buffalo, NY on August 4-9, 1896 Ribbon Pin with Two Beautifully Embossed Enamel Medallions is in Incredible Condition for its age, in my opinion. It measures 8 1/4\" long by 2 7/8\" wide. The colors are bright and vibrant; the enamel is smooth and unblemished with no blistering; the delicate Two-Tiered ribbon material and edge-stitching have been preserved to keep their original luster and beauty. The manufacturer\'s label is intact on the back side of the ribbon. You will be hard pressed to locate a finer example anywhere, given that it is over 127 Years Old! I have owned it since 1996 and have kept it in a sealed, air-tight container in a dark closet in my home ever since. I have taken it out today to take photos for this listing. Please check out my detailed photos of this rare item. Rest assured that it will be packaged and shipped safely and securely. Thanks for viewing my listing!
