Description

Cream-colored satin-woven ribbon printed in silver with the inscription, "BANQUET / YOUNG MEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB OF VERMONT, Feb. 12th, 1895." A design of two flag poles crossing over a spread eagle is printed at the center. Two small ribbons woven to look like small United States flags are appliqued onto the ribbon attached to the flag poles. They are appliqued with permanent wrinkles to look like they're waving in the wind. The top edge of the ribbon is folded down over a long stickpin. Attached to the bottom of the ribbon is a round medallion printed with a photograph of a bald man with sideburns (Chauncey M. Depew).

Context

Worn to a member of the Young Men's Republican Club of Vermont's banquet. Chauncey Depew was the guest orator.
