This is the first time I've purchased a fob medal. I just thought the Knight on the front was very different. Another inexpensive purchase. $11. Goes to show that you can still get some good deals on the bay.

    Very nice medal... I pick up pieces like that from time to time.. Most often are challenge coins... I have so many (100+) that I need another display cabinet. Cheers, RickO

    Cool! W&H company produced so many interesting pieces over their time.

    I believe a knight was used by Travelers in connection with advertising into the early '20's.
