"A Decade Of Growth" - 1960, 1965 Or 1970?

And I think not earlier than 1970. Otherwise, it all looks too self-confident.
But then it would be worth editing traditional history (the last years of the brand's) existence a little "Whitehead & Hoag".

My responses assume the medal has a reference to the Philadelphia Inquirer on the other side:

1) I believe the medal was used as a promotional piece during the 1960s.

2) As Whitehead and Hoag went out of business in 1959, it would seem logical to believe the medal was struck in 1958/1959 with distribution taking place primarily in the 1960s by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

3) My information indicates that the medal was not sold to the public, but distributed as a promotional tool.

Yes, that's right, it's "The Philadelphia Inquirer 1960-1970".

It is traditionally believed that Bastian Bros. used the trademark "Whitehead & Hoag" until 1965.
To use this paperweight as an advertising tool (a promotional piece) in the 60s, declaring some growth, given that the period was not yet over - this is, let's say, too reckless.
But at the end of the specified period, as a confirmation of what is written, it is quite logical.
I believe that Bastian Bros. did not stop producing products using the trademark "Whitehead & Hoag" in 1965, some medals were issued in 1970.

The phrase "A Decade Of Growth" could relate to coins from 1960, 1965, or 1970, each representing a period of economic and numismatic development.
