407. UNION PATRIOTIC COCKADE A wonderful war-date Union patriotic cockade that was proudly worn by a Massachusetts woman, finely embroidered in red, white and blue silk lace, measuring 2 1/2" in diameter, with a small woman's brass dress button attached in the center. Suspended from the badge are three ribbons also in red, white and blue. This decoration was owned by Mrs. Ophelia Garrette, who no doubt proudly wore this emblem to show her support for the Northern war effort. Accompanying the badge is a 12mo. envelope that bears her name and is inscribed: "Relics of the Civil War. Map & Badge, April '04 W. G[arrette]." Also, included are a war-date, ca. 1862, 1" x 3/4" gem style tintype of Mrs. Garrette that is attached to a larger cardboard mount and manuscript ink drawn map of central Boston showing the commons and surrounding streets. One silk ribbon (white) is detached, but present, else very good. $250-350
