Hey everyone just giving this thread a bump. I had to basically dump my inventory of fall that same year and stopped for about two years. Big changes in life have happened since then and I’m no longer in the military but I’m getting back into flipping. I have a pitiful 10 items listed. Lol.
I have to admit the landscape has changed quite a bit in just two years so I consider myself as starting fresh. I look forward to learning from you all and growing my business.
Took a class in high school so full disclosure this is an amateur guess. Sculptures carved into walls which protroud slightly are usually described as “in relief” so maybe pear sculpted in relief?
Hey, I did five years in the Marine Corps in and around DC. These plaques are often given as going away presents when someone moves on. Especially in more prestigious commands. Pentagon, White House military office, etc. For example say you worked at a post or position for x amount of years you would be given this placard it would Ben circulated around the office and people sign it and then it’s framed and given to you. As for acronyms here’s a couple common ones: CO (commanding officer), XO (executive officer (second in command)) and from this you can guesstimate what it might mean. Those acronyms are a little peculiar never seen them. If you can find his service record or his unit that could tell you what the acronyms mean. Those types of things are very unit dependent. As for the specific name we always just called it a “going away plaque” although there might be a better name for it. “Matted commemorative plaque”? Depending on who it belongs too could be a nice piece of history.
