CIVIL WAR VETERANS GAR G.A.R. OHIO PIN & RIBBON, PHOTO

This is an ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR VETERANS GAR G.A.R. OHIO BUCKEYE PIN & RIBBON. This was a fantastic find! Included is a copy of a photo of an 1899 reunion of Civil War Veterans. J. Peary Miller is in the photo. It was his family the ribbon came from.

I do not want to part with the original reunion photo so I am including a paper copy of it. What you see in the photo is the copy you will receive. Also a copy of the back which has the names of each veteran in the photo with the corresponding number so they can be identified. This came from a group of many civil war items, swords, civil war soldiers letters as well as quite a few GAR pins and ribbons, books, rosters etc. I will be listing some of these in the coming weeks, though being a collector myself, I’m having a hard time deciding whether to sell these or which to sell, as I want to keep them for my own collection! As Civil War collectors know, GAR stands for Grand Army of the Republic. There were many reunions of the civil war veterans over the years from 1870s into the 1920s and possibly later.

The items came from the Peary/Miller family. J. Peary Miller & Rev. Milton Miller were brothers and both served in the Civil War. I have some of J. Peary Miller’s letters to his brother Milton. Rev. Milton Miller was a chaplain and both were from Ohio and served in the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. J. Peary Miller served in the 153^rd O.V.I. Rev. Milton Miller served in the 110^th O.V.I. This ribbon belonged to one of them and was for a G.A.R. Ohio reunion. It has a wonderful pin attached as well. This is a FABULOUS G.A.R. CIVIL WAR COLLECTIBLE!!
