I started collecting coins, now I am also adding some medals and war decorations to my collection. I find that some early republic medals and decorations to be way more rare than some coins. However, there is not much market on it, just few people collecting them. For now I just have 2 decoration medals, and will keep collecting them.

 

Obverse was used on a number of their tokens, with different reverse

 

1947 centennial token Travis City Michigan

 

Bert Gibson Confectionary, aluminum, M/A, 1.2 grams, 20mm. Don't know anything about it. It's not listed in the Florida catalog. But I like confection tokens for some reason even though I don't really eat much candy.

 

@Circus I tried Numista and only one example and it was a stencil cut of iron cross inside it.TC ahd 650 examples of shapes called Maltese cross or clipped corners.All of the fraternal order of moose had a somewhat copywriter moose on their naturals tokes. However, Duane Fleisel designed most all of the LOE tokens and left his phone number by a few

 

Could be moose tavern, supper club etc. try token cat from the state where you bought it from. most times the simplest answer might work

 

My Father in law worked for Eagle Picher Mine near Schullsburg WI for many years. Got this in remembrance, don't really collect.

 

Milwaukee Police Department Encased Medal Medals

A few years ago a friend of mine came up with a Milwaukee Police medal of a type that I had never seen before. The bronze suspension broach indicates that the Milwaukee Police Band was established in 1919. Hanging from the broach is a white ribbon that is inscribed “Guest” in gold letters, only traces of which remain. The suspended medal is bronze with a gold brass incased Milwaukee City Seal. The medal has the legend “Milwaukee Police Officers Ball” without any indication of date. Recently another version has surfaced that is identical in design but with an antiqued silver finish. This version is also on a white ribbon but the inscription is “Executive”. Both medal types were made by Schwaab Stamp and Seal of Milwaukee.

 

A couple of recent Karl Goetz medal buys:

 

Awesome!! I don’t understand the 2nd medal(I’m not familiar with the context)but they’re both great!

 

Got ahold of this clock today.

 

Goetz is sticking it to the British after millions of pounds in loans to Russia were repudiated by the Bolsheviks.

 

Some new tokens

 

Is there a trick to using Numista? Seems like you must input a lot of information that a buyer may or probably won't know. Nothing ever comes up when searching their catalog. However Google searches always seem to have a link to a listing in Numista. There has to be a more streamlined way. Even if I do accidentally run across a listing I am after, there are omissions and mistakes. When I try ti submit revisions I am met by an angry crowd of "referees" that are always asking something I do not know. If I did I wouldn't be using their references. Any clues?

 

I can hear the young'uns now - "why does a telephone need a Test Coin?"
