Included in this lot is a collection of vintage Military, Labor Union and Political Related Ribbons from the late 1890s and early 1900s: a ribbon that reads,"First Montana U.S. Vol's, First to Respond to Their Country's Call, 1898 Campanas De Filipinos 1899", and "First Montana U.S. Vol's, Second Division, Eighth Army Corps." Also says "Welcome". This piece is probably from the celebration activities when the soldiers returned home after serving in the Spanish-American War. There was quite a celebration when the boys came home from their 1 1/2 year assignment to the Phillipines. Both in Dillon and eventually in Butte. The ribbon is faded with an attached flag on top and metallic fringe on the bottom, 9.25"H x 2"W; a ribbon which reads, "Trades and Labor Unions of BILLINGS, MONT. Labor Day. 1900.", faded but type is very legible and crisp, decorative design on top and bottom fringes, 8"L x 2.25"W; a ribbon that reads, "Federal Labor Union No. 133. Billings, Mont. Labor Day, 1902."; and lastly a vintage political campaign from the 1890s - 1900s that reads, "Campaign Ticket To Win" with a laurel branch between two round circles which would have shown images of the party candidates, an American flag is on the left side, type and images are faded, bottom fringe is worn, 2.25"W x 5"H
