This is the first medal I purchased....it led to my medal collecting habit
The medal is gold plated and was awarded to Henry Heide who was the inventor of "jujube candy" and Almond paste
Very nice medals. Thanks for sharing! :)
I LIKE YOUR NEW HAWK---DID YOU GET THAT FROM A MEDAL OF SORTS?---BRING SOME TO WAYNE MEETING--I'M INTERESTED--YOU KNOW THAT AS TALL AS YOU ARE--A CONDOR IS A BETTER BIRD THAN A HAWK FOR YOU---JUST KIDDING---YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR!
MY IST. MEDAL PURCHASE WAS A BICENTRNNIAL BRONZE SALUTE TO THE FREEDOM TRAIN THAT WENT AROUND THE US CARRYING PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES' HISTORY--LIKE THE LIBERTY BELL--IT WAS A STEAM ENGINE AND ABOUT 10 CARS---VERY IMPRESSIVE AS I AM A GREAT LOVER OF OLD TRAINS ANYWAY-- THE PROCEEDS FROM THE MEDALS WENT TO UNDER WRITE THE COST OF THE TRAIN AND SECURITY NEEDED FOR ALL THE MEMORABILIA ON THE TRAIN--THE COIN WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A 1/2 DOLLAR AND I STILL HAVE IT---THIS WAS IN THE SUMMER OF 1976 AND THE MEDAL HAS AGED NICELY--THANKS YOU ALL FOR READING THIS POSTING--YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR!TRAINS
