United States Army Model 1872 Dress Cap Badge
About the Item
Circa 1872, this antique brass U.S. Army Dress Cap Badge is a rare and unusual find. The battalion marking, 258, is proudly displayed across the eagle's chest. The cap badge measures 1-7/8 wing to wing and the same head to feathers. The back of the piece has two short prongs and a long center screw which were the means to attached the badge to a military dress cap. Certainly an objet du'vertu, this keepsake piece can be converted into ornamental jewelry.

- Antique Spanish Hat Badge Pendant Carved in JetLocated in Chicago, ILBADGE WITH ST. JAMES THE GREAT Northern Spain, 16th century Silver, jet Weight 18.2 grams; dimensions 44 × 43 × 12 mm Round pendant with high-relief image of St. James the Great of Santiago de Compostela carved in jet. The saint is flanked by two pilgrims (their heads defaced); each holds a staff and rosary in his hand. Silver mount with plain flat backplate, corded wire surround and toothed edge as setting. Four pendant loops for sewing onto a hat or cloak. According to the Roman naturalist Pliny, jet, the material of which this pin was made, prevented snakebite and was “thrown up by the sea.” The first quality would certainly have been reassuring for a pilgrim who owned this object and who had to make long journeys over unfamiliar terrain. The second quality made jet an especially fitting material to honor St. James, given that his body arrived in Spain mysteriously, carried there “by the sea” from the Holy Land. Santiago de Compostela was a major center for jet carving from the late Middle Ages, and highly polished jet was a desirable and common material for pilgrimage souvenirs. One even finds scallop shells, the pilgrim’s badge...Category
