Lot #1:

U.S. Grant Eagle and Flag

Heroes don’t come any bigger than U.S. Grant in the years following the Civil War. This campaign item from 1868 takes advantage of that popularity, picturing Grant in his Union uniform. The sepia image is encased in a metallic frame with flag and eagle design. Pin on back. This 1 inch item is listed as USG 1868-53 in DeWitt and is in excellent condition.
