This is from the same collection I've been posting about...The holder it was in said it was 14k Gold, but I'm not sure that's true...





Thanks guys!

Link to 1922 Numismatist article. Looks like they are 14K.

This is the sort of medal that rarely brings more than gold value, especially with gold as high as it is now. In fact, if you listed on eBay without a reserve, I'd sort of expect it to close at *less* than gold value. Seems a shame.

Really? That is a shame...It's really cool!

those were the good old days... companies today won't even give you a toothbrush for 10 years of service.
