There's also a link in there to an even older thread with other medals from the same series. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 06/24/2007 5:31 pm It looks familiar. I always assumed it was from some kind of promo or gas station giveaway. Here is a medal which looks to be from a different set of Presidents. This one is a little bit larger and has "The Osborne Register Co. Cincinatti Ohio" on the reverse.

Sap Moderator Australia 16898 Posts	Posted 06/25/2007 06:43 am I wondered what on Earth "American Fabious" meant. Googling the phrase mainly comes up with pages talking about this medal, or pages talking about a ship by that name (which was presumably named after Washington in this oblique sort of way). It's apparently an allusion to Fabius Maximus, the Roman dictator/general whose strategy of non-confrontation in the face of a superior enemy stopped Hannibal from conquering Italy. Given there was a ship in the Virginia State Navy named thus in 1781, I assume it was a title bestowed on Washington during his lifetime. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
