In the 18th century, mourning accessories tended to be jewelry - rings, pins, etc. So in the early 19th century, a mourning cockade would still be a very new idea. Tintype buttons had not yet been invented so putting the person's image on the cockade would have been expensive.<br /><br />The George Washington cockade you referenced (I'm assuming it's the black and white one) is actually a patriotic cockade, not a mourning cockade. Black and white were the official cockade colors of the American Revolution and were used in later times as a patriotic statement - there are even one or two from the Civil War time period.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483491473798745143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746195650829761702.post-7736127122905884432019-09-30T08:33:38.239-07:002019-09-30T08:33:38.239-07:00Can you tell me how far this custom goes back?
