Virginia Secession Cockade
Product Details
Show your southern pride the 1860s way - a Secession Cockade! Hand-sewn blue ribbon with a Virginia military button in the center. Yellow silk streamers. Based on an original description (below). Approximately 2.5" (6 cm) across rosette.
Secession Cockades were worn in the 1860s by anyone who sympathized with the southern cause. The most popular color was blue. Civilian ladies and gentlemen, military men, children, and even horses and wagons were all adorned with these patriotic symbols.
The Arkansian published a description of a Virginia cockade on January 5, 1861: “This consists of a double rosette of blue silk, with a pendant of lemon color, the whole fastened together by a gilt button on which appear in relief the arms of Virginia, with the name of the State and its motto encircling it. Its motto is “Sic Semper Tyrannis.”
