These were given out by the government to each veteran attending the reunion.  The plate center has a decoupaged cut out of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Memorial (ded. Jan 24, 1912) surrounded by a hand painted scene.

This 1913 plate was owned by Sgt Henry Orville Clark born in Milton, VT who fought at Gettysburg with Stannard’s Vermont Brigade, 13^th Vermont Infantry.  The back of the plate has a section of Henry O. Clark’s letterhead attached with a typed message that reads: “Souvenir/50^th Anniversary Battle of Gettysburg/July 1-5-1913/Plate Furnished by U.S. Gov’t,/for use of Comrades/Painted in oil by/? ? Moncoux,/East Rutherford, N.J.”

A special one of a kind veteran identified piece from the 50^th reunion. [DM/LD] [ph:L]
