Author's Signatures And Medals Without Signatures

Or J. Walter Thompson Centennial Medallion (1964).
I've never seen the author indicated.


But thank heavens MACo published its archives (let even with errors).
And now we know that the author is Arthur Hershel Lidov (1917 - 1990).

Another example.
Gridiron Club Dinner Medal (1919).


Some researchers report that the medal was not engraved by Sinnock, but by Hans Schuler.
See website American Numismatic Association.

This idea is most likely suggested by a very similar author's signature. But if look closely at the monogram, will see that these are not the letters H and S, but the letters J, R and S.
Cf.:



The problem is in Sinnok's early signatures. He used his initials at the very beginning (2-3 medals), then he signed his medals with his full surname.
In addition, there is an article in The Numismatist (vol. 98, August 1985) about the works of father and son Schuler. This medal does not appear on Hans Schuler's list of medals.

There are currently 9 medals for sale on ebay from 9 sellers - Northwestern National Life Insurance Company Board of Directors Medal (1937).


The author is not indicated anywhere. But if look closely at the reverse, can see the initials - W.T.M.


Warren T. Mosman (1908-1968).
I'm sure that this should be indicated in the description of the medal.

I was once very happy, when I found information about the author in The Auction Eighty Six catalog (Presidential Coin and Antique Company, p. 154, N 1128).

But it turns out that in the accessible part of Johnson's databank, such paperweight is not listed for F. Eue. Sadly.
Where is the exact information?

Does anyone have any information about the author?

Nice examples!

I cannot answer your questions regrading the author, but I can take time to admit that theses medals are nice and pleasing to my eye.

In other words, I find them interesting and hope someone will come provide you with an answer to your questions after my reply bring the topic back to the top of the list.

Let's continue with examples of medals from A. de Francisci...
I take the MACo archives and the databank from Johnson.
Please note - the year of issue is the same, the accounting archival records are practically next to each other. Two author.
The obverse and reverse are identical.
