Lot #463: Paintng of a Tall Ship on Bronze and Star

This lot contains three very unique items. The first item is a marker for the Grand Army of the Republic which was a veterans organization created for men who fought in the Civil War. It has the raised letters GAR and the dates 1861 1865 which are the years of the Civil War. There are raised letters on the back which say "Presented by Commission... PA". Some of the letters can no longer be read. It measures about 6.5" from point to point. The next item is a medallion or replica of the Aztec sun stone. It is inscribed around the perimeter and has a variety of symbols in the middle of the medallion. It is 2.75" in diameter. The last item is a hand-painted image of a two-masted schooner. It is actually three dimensional and the waves of the water and the schooner are both raised. Gertrude L. Thebaud, the name of the schooner, is engraved at the bottom of the painting. It is very heavy. Pickup category timeslot {A}
