cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1965 Posts	Posted 05/07/2025 7:50 pm I acquired the medal shown below and have learned it was part of a set, mounted on a plaque, entitled "The Making of the Jewish State." Close up of the artist's initials and an example of the plaque: My example is silver plated bronze, numbered "117". Edges are smooth. "Judaic Heritage Soc. RW" is stamped on on one edge. Can anyone identify a) The sculptor; b) Who struck the medals; c) Approximate vintage ? Thank you for looking. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. " Report this Post to the Staff

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1965 Posts	Posted 05/08/2025 4:31 pm Follow-Up: An internet search provided a link to the MACO archives ( 1980 - 84 ) -- hosted by the ANS -- and images of 6 of the 12 medals appear under MACO Numbers 1980 - 166, 1980-167, and 1980-171. The archive titles the series "History of the Jewish State," with "Customer Supplied" artwork provided by the Judaic Heritage Society, NY, NY. " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day.
