This is a interesting piece of being interested in ones environment early on. The "Companions were the female adjunct or auxiliary of the Foresters of America, a fraternal group interested in benevolence and social manners of the day. The Companions were first organized in San Francisco in 1883 becoming Circle No1 and they became a very popular fraternal group throughout America for women in the later 19th C. through the 1940s. This is a two sided satin banner of very high quality. Exceptional stitchery, use of fabric and adornment including expensive cording, fringe and gilt paints. The condition is like new and just about perfect with great color. It measures 32"W X 52'H including the cord hanger and wood dowel. Great wall hanger!
