描述:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: National Draft Horse Ass'n. World's Fair Columbian Expo 1893. One of the most aesthetic eye-appealing American gold medals, pre-1900, that I have ever seen. It almost knocks you off your feet. Uniquely constructed and styled: a blank gold central planchet, around which is affixed a separate gold rim. Ultra high relief gold fixtures include different color gold horsehead, Columbian Expo "labels" , ornate fixtures, etc. All different colors gold. Awarded (hand-engraved) to E.D. Hodgson in 1893 by the National French Draft Horse Ass'n (so far as I can discover, massive Clydesdale-type equines meant for heavy pulling). In the original plush-lined leather box of issue. All masterfully hand-made by a jeweler of the time. Curiously, there is no indication of the maker on the medal or box. 58 mm diameter, 67.5 grams (2.381 ozs), appears to be at least.900 fine if not purer gold. Acquired from Anthony Terranova's personal medal collection at the Summer 2013 Chicago ANA. Exquisite medal.

描述:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: Chicago, Illinois. Struck by Gorham (signed edge). Chicago World' Columbian Exposition gold presentation medal with related items. Initially acquired privately from the direct family descendants of the recipient Edmonds family on Feb 24, 2010 & acquired by me from that collector source at the Jan, 2011 Tampa FUN show. The reverse hand-engraved inscription says it all. The large medal is 63 mm, 6.2 ozs of 22 carat gold & was struck by Gorham , so marked on the rim. Elias Vedder, noted sculptor and painter engraved the obv die, the Vedder last name minutely signed on the wagon. The same WCE medal - obv only w/diff rev dies - was issued in silver & brz & both are themselves quite rare. This unique gold 6.2 oz gold medal comes with a 22 ct gold eagle badge w/ribbon, 22.9 grms 37 mm x 35 mm x 110 mm, rev. Inscribed to Howard O. Edmonds (stamped Spaulding & Co.) , a rare brz WCE badge 89 mm x 42 mm & hand-engraved Secretary on hanger & a 22 ct gold 6.5 grms 23 mm blue enameled beaded border concavepin inscribed H. O. Edmonds. All housed in a magnificent custom-made plastic display case (not shown) , the large goldmedal original presentation case being intact but tattered..

描述:: Alan V. Weinberg comments: Ex Israel Switt, found in the back of his Philadelphia safe - the original owner of the ten 1933 double eagles. An utterly extraordinary high quality yellow gold (apparently 22 or 24 ct)heavy medal that was apparently hand-finished by a Phila jeweler who hand-scalloped the rims and finely reeded the edge. Absolutely unique with but one single auction record (Bowers & Merena) and previously unknown. One of the most impressive late 19th century medals I've ever seen.
