  WASHINGTON FUNERAL MEDAL INFO FOUND
  

  Over on the colonial coin collectors forum, Chris Stevens
  wrote about some research he's doing on Jacob Perkins.:
  In reading 18th century issues of The Essex Journal
  "I also stumbled upon a number of interesting things.
  One being the original ads run by Perkins for the sale of the
  Washington Funeral medals. In an add on the front page of
  the E.J., Perkins states (exaggerates?) that bulk inquiries are
  welcome, and he has ability to execute 3-5 thousand pieces
  daily!"
  

  The ad appeared in the Jan 10, 1800 issue; here's the full text,
  from a picture published on the forum's web site:

  Jacob Perkins
  Takes leave to inform the pub-
  lic that he will now be able to answer
  orders for the Medals in memory of the late
  illustrious Gen. WASHINGTON, from
  any part of the continent, and to any a
  mount, executed on Gold, Silver, or White
  Metal, with punctuality and dispatch -- from
  3 to 5 thousand can be made daily.
  

  A liberal discount will be made to those
  who purchase quantities to sell again.
