Vintage New York Delegate Convention Ribbon Badge

This is a multifaceted historical convention badge, likely from an early to mid-20th-century political or fraternal gathering. The badge is composed of three primary sections: a top bar, a silk ribbon, and a hanging medallion. The top header bar is rectangular with a blue enamel field featuring the words 'NEW YORK' in gold-toned block lettering. Suspended from this bar is a grey-blue, ribbed silk grosgrain ribbon that shows soft draping and age-related fading but remains structurally intact. The bottom portion is a circular, scalloped-edge medallion made of a die-struck base metal, possibly brass or bronze, with a heavy aged patina. The medallion features an embossed design of the New York State Seal, depicting the shield, sun, and figures of Liberty and Justice, topped by a banner that reads 'DELEGATE'. The metal surfaces show significant oxidation and darkening consistent with long-term exposure. The construction uses a jump-ring connector to join the medallion to the ribbon. This style of badge was common at state and national party conventions, likely dating between 1910 and 1940. The craftsmanship shows high-quality die-striking on the medallion, though the enamel on the top bar has minor surface scuffs. No specific manufacturer's mark is visible on the front, but the assembly is characteristic of major badge makers like Bastian Bros. or Whitehead & Hoag.
