I would appreciate any information regarding the current reproduction of the Palmetto Cockade in South Carolina as was worn by our Secessionist ancestors during the WBTS. If anyone knows of anyone that is reproducing palmetto cockades please contact me off-list with the information. The Civil War Relic Room in Columbia and the "City Under Siege" exhibit at the Charleston Museum display originals...however, no gift shop sells reproductions. Am interested in the round type and the little Palmetto type as is shown in The Woman's War book from the Museum of the Confederacy. In addition, I am interested in a source for immature palmetto frond, before it opens up, which is the suggested state to use in baskets and presumably cockades. Sincerely, Laura Fitzpatrick
I have seen these sold at the sutlers (people that sale items to the reenactors of the WBTS) at the reeactments. Hope that this helps.
