I think that's very expressive of the era, like it very much. |

Earlier there was an opportunity to use D. Johnson's albeit truncated database on the Internet, I found that he attributed this medal to R. Chambellan. At the same time, his database included (and I have in my collection) a medal by W. Collins (MAco 1948-001).   1950 Kidde (Walter) Constructors 50th Anniv Medal. Johnson fully attributes the medal to Collins. I think that the reverse of the medals was made by Chambellan. Or by someone else? Any ideas? Edited by WHC

Admiration is, of course, good, but I would also like some thoughts (guess-work) about the item.

There is such a medal. Society of Arts and Sciences Edison Tribute Medal, 1928. Walter Russell, Sc. Uniface. 61-63 mm (MACO 1928-043-004).  The Auction Eighty (Presidential Coin and Antique Company) catalog, p. 189, contains the following information:  Now on E(bay) one seller sells 2 such medals. With errors in the description, but it does not matter. What do think, by what signs should one understand whether these are originals or not? Edited by WHC

If it is true, as your second picture of the description states: "this is one of 5 medals struck in 1928" Then I am extremely skeptical, because the same ebay seller has 2 of those 5 medals for sale... what are the odds? |

I think about the same thing. And I am most worried about my "third" medal.
Or are we witnessing a numismatic miracle?
