<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1355149, member: 31533"]You probably have the real deal, as far as it being a commemorative medal/medallion from the 225th anniversary of the founding of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Look at this site - it gives the official program for Founder's Day there <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/officialprogramm00germ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archive.org/details/officialprogramm00germ" rel="nofollow">http://www.archive.org/details/officialprogramm00germ</a> and here is a link that gives a citation for a postcard from then <a href="http://pacscl.exlibrisgroup.com:48992/F/?func=direct&doc_number=000205696" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pacscl.exlibrisgroup.com:48992/F/?func=direct&doc_number=000205696" rel="nofollow">http://pacscl.exlibrisgroup.com:48992/F/?func=direct&doc_number=000205696</a>. I don't know the value, it obviously would be dependent on the people that support the historical society that might like to have it, sometimes, if you put it up on eBay, someone might purchase it to give to the local historical society (This one would be Philadelphia, I imagine). That happened to me once when I sold an oddball item. You might try putting it up for, say 25 or 30 dollars on eBay and mention early Philadelphia. Someone might be wanting it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
