Dawg that medal predates the Art Deco movement but is killer never the less!
Generally 1925 is the used as the beginning of the Art Deco era but I believe the roots and earmarks of the movement started around 1913.

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I'm more a fan of the slightly earlier Art Nouveau period, personally, but Art Deco is great, too, and was a valid response to the occasional excesses of the former.
There are a lot of Art Nouveau designs in this thread instead of the later Art Deco.
The WLH, Winged Liberty Dime, and the Peace Dollar are almost textbook examples of Art Nouveau.
The 1904 St. Louis Exposition medal posted by crazyhounddog is also textbook Art Nouveau (albeit, an extremely beautiful medal that I'm happy to see here).

I think many are great transition pieces between the two movements.

I generally agree. Art Nouveau typically has more curves that Art Deco, which is more geometric in nature.
I still think the earliest textbook case of Art Deco is the reverse of the 1909 Lincoln Wheat cent.
Very interesting topic Mark. When you mention the Cincinnati are you referring to the Music Center? Not sure which one presented so far speaks to the movement, but the Connecticut issue really speaks to me. The Bridgeport eagle is a favorite of mine also.

Yes sir. The Cincinnati was distributed in 1936. The obverse of this issue displays a portrait of Stephen Foster while the Art-Deco reverse honors Cincinnati and The Music Center as a hub of American music.
The Bridgeport & the Connecticut are also steep in Art Deco
Tip for commem collectors- if you ever come across an attractively toned 36-S ........buy it.

Shows what I know. DOH
I know the reverse of the Connecticut commem has already been mentioned and shared, but I think the obverse pairs with it quite well-

medals from the 1933-34 CPIE in Chicago nicely depict this period of Art.
