Figure i6i background is an eagle grasping the top of the Federal shield superimposed on panoply of arms and colors. The national motto is on a ribbon below. Certainly not from a stock pattern, this plate obviously was made for a specific Militia unit of considerable affluence. Three simple wire fasteners soldered to the reverse provide means of attachment. This specimen is one of the scarce examples of mili- tary plates bearing the maker's name "bale," which may be seen just above the raised lower edge and be- low the "uNUM." This was probably Thomas Bale of New York who is first listed in New York directories, in 1832, as an engraver at 68 Nassau Street. The 1842 directory lists him as a die sinker at the same address in partnership with a Frederick B. Smith. He is last listed in 1851. CAP AND CAP PLATE, 1ST ARTILLERY, PENNSYLVANIA, C. 1840 USNM 604672 QS-K 819). Figure 165. The plate on this cap uses only the shield of the Pennsylvania seal without crest or supporters. It is surrounded at the sides and bottom with a \vreath carrying a ribbon with the unit designation "first ARTILY." Equally interesting and unusual is the small separate insignia at the pompon socket. It is based on the 1840 flaming grenade ordnance device with crossed cannon superimposed. COCKADE EAGLE, C. 1840 USNM 60394~M (S-K 150). Figure 166. This eagle is of a rather odd design, and the five arro\vs in its left talon is an e\'en more unusual vari- 82
