buggs Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 7:48 pm Been in the family for years. I can tell you at least from the 70s as far as I can remember. But I never knew what they really are. Looks like they may be from the olympics. States on the wood case made in Italy. Each one feels heavy, like maybe bronze, pewter. Are they medals, tokens?

Click here to see what the actual (Summer) medals looked like. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
