Wood Souvenir MedalLooped 32mmgilt bronze [ATTACH=full]1431151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1431152[/ATTACH] This seems to be a rather scarce item. Walter A. Wood was a farm machine manufacturing company established in 1852 and promoted products as an exhibitor at many World's Fairs and Expositions in the United States and abroad as early as 1876 and won many gold medals from what information I have found.American Branches were in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Louisville, San Francisco, Portland Oregon and Maine, Rochester, Richmond, Pittsburg, Fargo and Baltimore.

[ATTACH=full]1431155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1431156[/ATTACH]  I like this fancy decorated reverse with two mounted red beads, two white beads and blue enamel highlights. I can't find out much more about this, but it is very high relief, gilt and 26mm in diameter.[/QUOTE]
