I've been asked for information about this medal. A colleague thought it might have been a commemorative from the PA State Education Association (NEA affiliate/teachers union) but it is not. Note the "Educational" instead of Education.
Does anyone know who issued it? I've asked for a picture of the reverse and will post if I get it. TIA...

Here is the reverse of the medal. If this is not the correct CU forum for this posting can someone please let me know? Thanks!
I cannot help, but find it interesting... depicting two major, but separate conflicts... Cheers, RickO

Anyone? Guesses as to when this was produced?
The lettering style makes me think 20th Century, but I really have nothing to back that up.
From the PSEA.org site:
1900 – Pennsylvania State Teachers Association changes name to Pennsylvania State Educational Association.
So, Tom is correct, it's a 20th century medal. So, visit the site and give them a call or email. It appears they do have an archive and historian.
Thank you!
I suspect the reverse is struck from a stock die. These were actually badges rather than true medals.
The City of Fort Wayne, Indiana got its' name from Major General Anthony "Mad Anthony" Wayne.
