Perhaps your grandfather was a member of that post - but what kind of post was it? Odd fellows? Veterans of a particular conflict?. I would start with a local historian, or possibly an antiques dealer who specializes in the particular time period when your ggg-grandpa had his photo taken. Historians and antique dealers are quite good at recognizing features from particular eras. Good luck!Inside the conservator's studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13460008965395631074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775473671498700129.post-9088981248548161222016-07-29T13:05:42.220-04:002016-07-29T13:05:42.220-04:00Hi Gwen, I have an old old photo of my Great Great...Hi Gwen, I have an old old photo of my Great Great Great Grandpa, he is wearing a almost civilian velvet suit. The stumper is that he is wearing a sash and on the left lower side of his outfit there is a ribbon and a sash. The ribbon is of the cloth roset type and beside it a small long thick ribbon. This ribbon has the words"HANCOCK POST #080 on it. As well it has a star, like the Eastern Star, but this i guess could also be just a sash buckel. Can you help me,, I can send you an image if that is better for you. I have run up against the wall with this.
