<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4572352, member: 97383&quot;]Pictured below is a storecard struck in bronze sometime between 1922-1932, 35 mm, in the style of Euainetos. The storecard was designed by Alphonse Kolb for George Bauer (1870-1961), and struck by Bastian Brothers, Rochester, NY. Bauer was one of the pioneer numismatists in the U.S. and one of the co-founders of the Rochester Numismatic Association in 1912. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1132039[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Alphonse Kolb (1893-1983) was a German-American sculptor-medalist who lived in Rochester, NY, and for many years designed all the presidential medals for the R.N.A. The two dies pictured below were made for the Syracuse Numismatic Association with the obverse in the style of the famous decadrachms of Euainetos. I bought these dies at auction many years ago &amp; have never found a medal struck from these dies <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Kolb signed the obverse die in micro letters below the bust of Arethusa. The best I could do is make a Play-doh impression of the die <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1132052[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
