<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aquitaine, post: 95629, member: 602&quot;]O.K., Bakers, You are probably as close to being right as one&#039;s ever going to get!!!!&nbsp; I said before I wrote to the Jamestown Historical Museum (RI), but heard back later....and that individual sent me to a site that had a booklet ( <a href="https://archive.org/stream/reportofjamestow01rhod#page/n5/mode/2up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/stream/reportofjamestow01rhod#page/n5/mode/2up" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/stream/reportofjamestow01rhod#page/n5/mode/2up</a> ) which is a tome to read and I am FAR from finishing, BUT.....There WAS an OFFICIAL RI State Ter-Centennial Commission sent to the JAMESTOWN TER-CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.....in April of 1907 for the opening of the Exhibition, there were 5 Commissioners in particular who read parts of the original Rhode Island Charters, each seem to be wearing a pin, but totally NON-discernible......photo attached.&nbsp; Since from what I&#039;m piecing together, RI was actually the original charter, they also put up a building in Jamestown to show early life in NE/RI whatever else!&nbsp; And yes they could have sold pins as well.&nbsp; I would love to think mine is one of 5, but probably not a chance!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Oh, also if KOT is watching am re-posting the pin just because in this pic of the back you can just make out the T....do not ask me why!!!!&nbsp; My thought generally though is it&#039;s an earlyish representation of the State logo.....OOOOps....re-read Kings info....at 1882, that&#039;s not gonna work!!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]24248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]24249[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
