This is a truly unique archive of the first forty issues of the Society of Medallists that begins with Issue 1 in 1930 by Laura Garden Fraser and ends with Issue 40 in 1949 by Leo Friedlander. This display board is an approximately 31.5x47-inch piece of plywood covered by black felt on which have been mounted uniface strikes of the obverse and reverse of each issue. Missing items include obverse of Issue 6 (1932 Flanagan); obverse of Issue 7 (1933 Jennewein); reverse of Issue 8 (1933 Cecere); and obverse of Issue 31 (1945 Chambellan). All are antiqued bronze except Issue 3 (green patina); Issue 4 (gold plated); Issue 6 (green patina); Issue 11 (green patina); Issue 12 (silver plated); Issue 14 (dark patina); Issue 17 (gold plated); Issue 20 (gold plated); Issue 21 (silver plated); Issue 22 (deep red patina); Issue 24 (dark brown patina); Issue 28 (silver plated). All are standard issue 2.875-inch diameter except for Issue 28 (1.375-inch); and Issue 29 (2-inch). Note again that these were deliberately struck as uniface for this display and the flat backs were tapped so they could be bolted onto the black felt-covered board. We know of no other display like this, and there are historic photographs of the Medallic Art Company office in Manhattan that may show this very display mounted on the wall in the background. This was unsold material that remained after the liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint. State: City: Date:
