Item Type: BadgeSummaryFull Description: One of two sets of Silk lapel badges, as worn by players attending the Philadelphia Concertina Club's gatherings at Atlantic City. In this pair, the item with the tassel is for the meet on July 20, 190*(unclear), and the ribbon with the yellow bow is dated July 12th, 1903. These gatherings were undoubtedly for players of the large Chemnitzer-style concertina whose stronghold was the central states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. See Dan Worral's on-line article on the history of the Anglo concertina in the United States [http://www.concertina.com/worrall/anglo-in-united-states/] for more information.
