Confederate reunion medallion

[Nathan W]

Found at one of the sites at work. Got 1912 date. At first I thought it was a high school reunion charm. I think it's to celebrate something that happens in Macon Georgia. Appears the reunion happed 1912 .Going to have to do some research.

I love stuff that's so personalized with dates and locations. I did read the 22nd reunion of confederate veterans was hosted in that city in 1912

That's what we have always assumed they were.

First place I’d check is the hole you found it in.
(This coming from a guy who quite often forgets to check his holes)

What a cool find! It looks like to me this 1925 coin depicting Stone Mountain was based on the same theme as this medal. Lee and Jackson’s last meeting. The Stone Mountain carving was started in 1915.
