Wow , that pin is awsome man - can we see the backside of the pin (I always get a much better feel for an artifact if I can see the back )

Whitehead & Hoag

the pin is not civil war...notice the flags are both US flags...not the us flag an confederate flag...

probable veterans organization...Spanish American war period. if I read the above link correctly, whitehead an Hogue were in business from 1895-1915...

read the final paragraph, then contact the site above...
