Here is a neat little pack of matches that still contains matches inside. It is an original souvenir pack promoting the G.A.R. Hall. On one side the package reads "G.A.R. HALL - GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC - RT. 303 & RIVERVIEW PENINSULA, OHIO."
Along the top of the package, you will find the phone number for the hall: (216) 657-2211.
Written on the back, "Built in 1880 as the splendid meeting hall of the Civil War Veterans. Restored for your use for that important social or business function. Complete catering and excellent food by our staff." * * *
This is a beautifully designed piece from
the collection of noted collector Don Limpert (1927-2022). Don Limpert was a
long-time collector of memorabilia from the veterans of the Civil War with an
emphasis on the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union veterans of the Civil War
organization. He saw the possibilities of combining his vast collection of GAR
memorabilia with an original Grand Army of the Republic post building that was
available to purchase in downtown Eaton Rapids, Michigan. He purchased the
building in 2012, and the building became the Michigan Grand Army of the
Republic Memorial Hall and Museum. After his passing in 2022, his collection
was sold and now is your chance to own a piece of that astounding collection. Item #: C8659 Shipping Weight:
