    Insomnia sometimes pays off.

    I was perusing fleaBay in the wee hours of the morning a few weeks ago while struggling to breathe through my bought with covid.

    This magnificent medal came across my screen an I was immediately enthralled. As usual for me, it was a purchase before research so now I need to find out more about what I own.

    What I do know is that this is a commemorative for the Bicentennial of the City of Albany, NY. It has a few rim dings on it that I believe kept it with my budget. They don't really bother me that much because the overall look of this piece is otherwise fantastic.

    I am extremely interested in your thoughts on this medal

    Anyway, without further ado, on to the photos.

    Three must have been their lucky number or some other significance. ;)

    3 guys
    3 table legs
    3 corner hat
    3 ball finials on the clock
    Looks like the deal will consummate at 3 o'clock
