Re: Pre war steel in ships/planes

Coincidentally, I researched this bronze medal in the course of some genealogy work. It came to me indirectly from my long passed Grandfather without any provenance. It’s prewar ca 1883 and reflects membership in a since disbanded fraternal society, the Grand Army of the Republic, for veterans of the Civil War.

While not recycled steel, it is recycled bronze.

These medals were made from rebel cannons.
