Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Medal question

I won a Hoover Silver Jubilee 1907-1932 medal on ebay and wondered if anyone had any info on this medal. It is also inscribed with W N Patrick. It may have been presented to this person. The ebay number is 230440877804.

Your Link

and as i mentioned before i love this line from Stack's auction of the plaster for this medal:

"Female muse in Grecian chiton raises kneeling haggard housewife, discarded broom below" --- such sybolism in artistic rendering on a lovely medal for a household appliance

It's not an especially scarce piece but is far from common. It's usually found
with some wear but not so extensive as this. For 99c you couldn't have gone
too wrong.

I'd guess there probably are around 3,000 of these and I've never seen one
with a name before. (I've seen very few of these)
