This gold metal stamped pin is believed to have been originally issued as a fraternal “Compliments to Our Ladies” or “Ladies Auxiliary” ribbon, produced by Wendall & Greenwald Supplies of Minneapolis, circa 1895–1915. Features a detailed bust with a striated headdress resembling a pharaoh’s Nemes or the attributes of the goddess Hathor.
Reverse side of pin bears the original paper tag with “WENDELL & GREENWALD BADGE SUPPLIES MINNEAPOLIS”
DIMENSIONS: approximately 2 ¼” high by ½” high by 1 ½” wide
CONDITION: Pin is in good vintage condition. Ribbon may have originally read ‘Compliments to Our Ladies’ with the “D-I-E-S’ or abbreviated for Ladies Auxiliary on the lower portion now separated due to disintegration of ribbon. Please see photos for exact condition.
