Description

Patriotic or baldric sashes were frequently produced in the late 19th through early 20th centuries. Political candidates, as well as elected officials, often sported the hand-made sash during campaign events or significant patriotic celebrations.
While such political baldric sashes were common at the turn of the century, the use of a baldric sashes dates back to ancient Roman times. The baldric sash was originally used to carry weapons, such as swords, and later, bayonets. They have also been used to support the weight of a battle drum or similar instrument. While political candidates of the 20th century did not have a similar need for the baldric sash, they often sported the sash as a special tribute to its storied and military past.
