Is there any way to identify the individual that would have been issued this medal? The number on the attendance medal is #228.

    See if Louisville has a historical society. They may have a file on the subject.

    All glory is fleeting.

    It holds some value in and of itself

    It appears to be a Schwaab Stamp and Seal co. product. I’d expect their mark to be on the reverse. I could be wrong though.

    This would be a fun piece to research. There’s got to be some good info out there about it!

    I’m not sure if that listing is a good indicator of value. It is an unsold 5 year old listing.
