Nice Grand Army of the Republic medal, For those of southern roots thats yankee talk for "i was there". In all seriousness, they were given out at reunions they had after the Civil War, nice find.

I've seen skull rings like that 'given' out at carnies in the 70's.

Give'em a closer picture. (I'm old and my eyes are weak.)

The GAR medallion is cool. Nice shape, is what it is, and issued 1905.
