I found this at a old 1900's country store site. I first thought it was a old spark-plug gapper but tossed it into my bag anyway. I got home and started cleaning up a couple Indian Head cents 1900 and a 1888. I decided to give this object another look and noticed some lettering embossed around the center circle. I started brushing it with a fine brass brush and was quite amazed at what I had found. (that's the good part about having bad eyesight, I get 2 suprizes for the same item, when I first dig it and then after I take it home to look at it under my magnification light.) It turned out to be a 1902 United Confederate Veteran's Reunion badge. I can't find any info on this particular one. I think it might have once held a medallion in the center hole. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.
