    Description

    1903 BPOE Elks Baltimore Grand Reunion Badge Medal Featuring Charles Vivian. This typically would have had a pin with “Baltimore” on it that this medal would have hung from. This medal has a string with another small metal piece with 250 on it. I have no idea what it was for. This badge measures 2.5”x1 5/8” and it is in good condition with some wear on the front. It was made by The Minks B. & N. Co., Baltimore, MD.
    It is interesting that this has Charles Vivian on it because even though he was one of the organizers of the Elks he was actually rejected from moving up probably because he was considers a “semi-professional” entertainer who thought of the group more for fun than a professional group with rulers and structure. So he really was never a member of the organization he help start.
