Ribbon issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of George Washington's birth on February 22, 1832. Names of American patriots radiate out from the bust of Washington. The Gloria Patria slogan may mean this ribbon is associated with the Washington Benevolent Societies. Maker's name at base of ribbon is not legible on this ribbon but appears to read Published by W. Commager Jr. / 489 Sth. Market St. in ribbon reference work. Source: Sullivan and Fischer 1985: Page 13, Ribbon GW-15.
