About the Item

In its original embossed box, this 14k gold circa 1901-1909 brooch/pendant bears the emblem of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A spinning wheel with 13 spokes, representing the 13 original colonies, features "DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION" against blue enamel on the edge of the wheel. Thirteen stars, again referencing the colonies, surround the colonies. a platinum-topped distaff (spindle) filled with flax is in the background of the emblem. According to the DAR, the emblem represents the industry, thrift, and patience" of colonial women and the "industry and unity" of the colonies. The emblem was adopted in 1891. This brooch, worn over the left breast by members, was adopted in 1901. This piece can be worn as a pendant as well thanks to the flip-up bale on the reverse, which allowed Mrs. Anne Cummings Culbertson greater versatility in how she displayed her membership.
