BWCAjac New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/22/2010 12:18 am I found this old medal and I have no idea how old it is or where it was from. I believe it is U.S. Military? It is marked "50" on the back, appears to be brass and measures about 1 1/4" across. If anyone could help me identify it and might have a general idea of value, that would be great. Thank you.

petcatchris New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 04/01/2010 09:32 am It's a Watch Fob and probably gilt at time of manufacture. It has some age, probably late 19th century. Does the ring swivel? Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 04/01/2010 11:14 am I would agree it's a watch fob. Speculating here but the 50 may denote years of service for a retiree. Since the piece doesn't contain inscriptions or corporate ID, it may be very hard to isolate origin ... i.e., a generic offering. Report this Post to the Staff
Bilboleslie Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/04/2011 12:07 am I'm betting, from the design, that it is 50 years after the end of the Civil War, for a Union veteran's gathering. 1915, in other words. Report this Post to the Staff
