ARTIFACT: This is a World War I "Welcome Home" celluloid pin for the United States Army 26th Division that has a ribbon and an attached Liberty Bell. The pin bears an interlocking Y and D for the Massachusetts group's nickname, the "Yankee Division".

VINTAGE: Circa World War I.

SIZE: Approximately 3" in length (including ribbon) and 1-1/4" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Celluloid-wrapped tin, silk ribbon, plated brass.

ATTACHMENT: Straight pin (safety pin to hold bell on to ribbon).

MARKINGS: There is a very hard-to-read maker's stamp on back of pin, possibly for Whitehead & Hoag (letters appear to be HOA).

ITEM NOTES: This is from a homefront company collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJX11 LDIX8/11 SeVFEN5/15

CONDITION: 6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The pin has seen some moderate wear, most noticeably to the ribbon, with some yellowing and minor denting to the celluloid and light rusting on reverse.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
