WAIST-BELT PLATE, CITY GUARDS, C. 1840

_USNM 604386-M (S-K 533). Figure 215._

[Illustration: FIGURE 215]

There were City Guards in Charleston, South Carolina, New York City,

Philadelphia, and possibly in other places. Thus it is impossible to

determine just which of these units wore this cast-brass plate. The

ornamented outer oval is typical of the 1840's.
