Your pendant, which shows a ship, is definitely not from the civil war. Your pendant's ship is a slightly incorrect representation of the US Navy battleship USS Maine... which blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana Cuba on February 15th 1898, prompting the Spanish-American War a bit later that year. The US battle-cry in that war was "Remember the Maine!" Your pendant is a patriotic memento of that time.

Your pendant's rendition of the USS Maine is incorrect because the Maine had only two smokestacks, not three as seen on your pendant.

Nice find Roger! :thumbsup:
