WHC: I suspect a lot of larger bronze medals ( 2.75 " and bigger ) spent part of their lives out of the shipping box and on some one's desk as a paperweight. MACO's "Calendar" medals [https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...y_ID=4248081] are one example, though I know they typically shipped with a stand. Before this thread, I was unaware footed paperweights were a niche numismatic collectible. Thank you for sharing.

There are other signs that clearly classify the objects as paperweights. It is clear that we are still in the numismatics field.
This is a massive base, as well as a soft backing.
Look at this.
The paperweights on a wooden base is R. P. Chambellan.
