"At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States;
its design today remains the official version of the seal. The company also designed and made many of the military medals that are still used today, including the Congressional Medal of Honor,
the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Spanish Campaign Medal
and the first 40,000 Purple Hearts
awarded, as well as class rings for West Point and Annapolis."

SHIPPING NOTES:
FAST shipping is always a TOP PRIORITY!  Upon receiving your cleared payment purchases are carefully packaged up and shipped out within 24-48 hours.  If for some reason there is a delay, I will email you.  Our PO is closed on the weekends, so items paid for on Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday are usually shipped out the following Monday (unless I happen to catch our mail lady beforehand).
On MOST items I am also happy to combine shipping (also
noted under the shipping&payments tab)
