Ephemeral Decorations by Harrold Gillingham.

Copyright 1935 by The American Numismatic Society - 45 pages.

"The majority of decorations described in this volume were created by adventurers - aspiring rulers whose appeals for financial and moral support of their schemes were made to impressionable persons. None of them were recognized by an authoritative government. They are classified as unofficial or family orders and the wearing of them in public were prohibited by the laws of several countries." Pictured are: (1) Araucania - Ordre Royale de l'Etoile du Sud, (2) Chancellerie de l'Obole, (3) Lusignan - Order of St. Catherine of Mt. Sinai, (4) Sedang Order of Merit - Chevalier, (5)Royal Order of Sedang.

It was withdrawn from The National Geographic Society Library and has the usual card pocket and labels. Condition: Very tightly bound with no marks of any kind to text or plates.
