Description

Blue grosgrain ribbon with a metal pin at the top, a short red, white, and blue striped overhanging ribbon, and a dangling medallion. The gold pin is shaped like an eagle with spread wings and features two red, white, and blue shields and a blue field with "Delegate" printed in gold. The short ribbon streams from underneath the pin and features a blue rectangular bar at the bottom with "Cleveland, 1936" in gold letters. The gold medallion is linked to the bar and is embossed with the profiles of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; the dome of the Capitol is visible behind the busts. "National Republican Convention" is printed on a blue banner, and "One flag, one people united under the constitution" is printed on a white banner.
