FRANCE-1927-ELECTRICITY- SUPERB BRONZE Medal ART DECO by DAMMANN-IN BOX. I have wanted this medal for a long time. This 1 looks to be in very good shape with out scratches/dents. sellers pics... I really like the face side. So art deco.
It's always a good feeling when you are able to find and acquire such a wonderful piece of art. Unlike coins, many of the older medals are much scarcer because they are usually struck in mere hundreds as opposed to tens of thousands. And, so often, they do not come with a protective case such as yours and are subject to the wear and tear of the decades. I've been collecting 19th & 20th century French medals for about 25 years, and for all of those I have acquired, only a small handful have a protective case. Nice find! Chris
Thank you. Do you have this medal ? I got it off Ebay last night for $80 + $10 shipping. This is my very 1st Medal. I hope to get some Bronze Cathedral medals in the far future by Jacques Wiener.
Hmm, not sure about the date. The company (CPDE) was founded in 1907 as the medal says, but this page for example suggests that the medal was issued in 1932, for the 25th anniversary ... Christian
I have a wide assortment, but that is not one of them. Unfortunately, I lost most of my images on my old computer when the graphics card fried. Here are some that I'm partial to. Chris
