Frémont–Lincoln–Harding Veteran Club Ribbon Badge
American, circa 1920
Diameter: 2 1/4 in.; Length: 7 in.
 
A finely preserved ribbon badge commemorating the lineage of Republican presidential standard-bearers, featuring portrait roundels of John C. Frémont (1856), Abraham Lincoln (1860), and Warren G. Harding (1920). The attached silk ribbon, printed “Frémont Lincoln Harding Veteran Club / Lancaster County Pa.,” situates the piece within a local political organization aligned with the 1920 campaign, linking early Republican origins to its contemporary standard-bearer.
 
Badges of this type were produced for club members and campaign participants, serving both as wearable identifiers and commemorative objects. The pairing of earlier party icons with Harding reflects a deliberate effort to invoke continuity and legacy at a pivotal postwar election moment.
 
Condition: Excellent.
