1892 Rare and Ornate Republican National Convention Maryland Delegate Badge. This badge measures 2" x 9.5" and was issued to a Maryland delegate at the Republican National Convention held in Minneapolis 1892. Very attractive and unusual and has an embroidered shield at the center of a Maryland Coat of Arms/shield with an eagle and shield beneath. Black and gold ribbon bow header, teal blue ribbon imprinted with the state seal. A great addition to any Benjamin Harrison, Republican Convention or Maryland political history collection. We can't say that we ever recall seeing another of these in the past 48+ years. With manufacturers inscription label on the reverse from the Sisco Bros. Manufacturers, Baltimore, Maryland. Orginal, of course.

From the Gary Burhop Collection. 

Historical Notes
In an unusual move, the Republican National Committee held its convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota over more typical larger cities, reportedly in an attempt to gain votes in the region for the Republican Party.
