ANTIQUE 1862 MILITARY AWARD HANDMADE RIBBON SOLDIER PRIMITIVE FOLK ART 4TH JULY For Sale

THIS WAS AN ESTATE SALE FIND INSIDE OF AN OLD BOOK SO I DON\'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOT SURE IF HAS TO DO WITH THE MILITARY OR NOT. IT IS HAND SEWN WITH A PIECE OF PAPER ATTACHED AS THE BADGE. I CAN MAKE OUT THE WORDS SOLDIER 1862, BADGE WON BY EDWARD (CAN\'T READ THE LAST NAME), I THINK MONMOUTH ILLS. (ILLINOIS?) THERE IS ALSO A SMALL NAIL THROUGH THE BACK OF IT. IT MEASURES ABOUT 4 3/4\" LONG. IT IS IN USED CONDITION WITH FRAYING TO THE RIBBON. NICE PIECE OF PRIMITIVE FOLK ART FROM THE 1800\'S. RED WHITE AND BLUE COLORS ARE STILL VIBRANT AND WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A MILITARY OR 4TH OF JULY SETTING.
