When I pick something up, I like having a little knowledge on it (after the fact, of course) to add to my personal &quot;catalog&quot; of information. That&#039;s pretty easy if the acquisition is listed in Hibler &amp; Kappen, one of the Krause catalogs, or barring those, at least an earlier listing on TokenCatalog.com . . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes (a lot lately) I pick something up that even with my best Google-Fu, leads to dead end roads . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p>My latest arrival however, left me extremely surprised when I hit Google looking for more information (there was nothing on this on TokenCatalog.com until I added it earlier today).</p><p><br /></p><p>Presenting, my first acquisition that is also part of a major university collection! My next step is to find out who this Arthur L. Newman is. I wonder if he is related to Alfred E. Neuman of MAD Magazine fame . . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p>Z</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1928 - The Spirit of Aviation Medal by Whitehead &amp; Hoag</b></p><p>.</p><p>Token Catalog - TC-608958</p><p><a href="https://forums.collectors.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=http%3A%2F%2Ftokencatalog.com%2Ftoken_record_forms.php%3Faction%3DDisplayTokenRecord%26td_id%3D608958" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=http%3A%2F%2Ftokencatalog.com%2Ftoken_record_forms.php%3Faction%3DDisplayTokenRecord%26td_id%3D608958" rel="nofollow">http://tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&amp;td_id=608958</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1322594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1322595[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
