Cool! This is a neat
and uncommon Grand Army of the Republic piece. This
is a 9 inch by 6 inch chalk ware plaque with an image of marching soldiers and
children waving. The
bottom says: G.A.R. DES MOINES 1931.The
reverse has a presentation from the Des Moines Public Schools to the Members of
the Grand Army of the Republic at the annual encampment held in Des Moines,
lowa September 13-17, 1931.Plaque
was designed and modeled by Eugene Lundgren & Arlon Nelson of East High
School who won the design competition. It
is mounted on a thin red white and blue ribbon. It
has been broken on the lower left side and period repaired. There
is a name written in pencil on the reverse I cannot make out. A very cool piece!
