    Description

    RARE 1902 BRONZE 50TH ANNIVERSARY MEDALLION - MEDAL - TOKEN
    WELLS FARGO EXPRESS AND BANKING 1852 MARCH 18TH 1902
    UP FOR SALE IS A VERY RARE MEDALLION OR TOKEN PRODUCED IN 1902 FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF WELLS FARGO.  I OBTAINED A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE FROM THE ESTATE OF A DESCENDANT OF AN EARLY WELLS FARGO EMPLOYEE.
    STAMPED THIN BRONZE OR BRASS CONSTRUCTION, IT MEASURES ABOUT 1 11/16" IN DIAMETER.  DEPICTED ON MEDALLION AT TOP ARE FACTORIES, TELEGRAPH LINES, A STEAM SHIP AND STEAM RAILROAD ENGINE WITH CAR.  BOTTOM HALF FEATURES CROSSED KEYS, PENS AND A HAND HOLDING LIGHTENING BOLTS.  RIM READS "WELLS FARGO FAITHFUL SERVICE".  RIBBON IN CENTER READS "1852  MARCH 18TH  1902".  ALSO HAS WORDS "EXPRESS AND BANKING" AND "FIDELITY".  BACK SHOWS REVERSE OF FRONT.  STAMPING IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH BRIGHT FACE.  MEDALLIONS WERE STORED IN SMALL STACK AND THIS ONE HAS SOME "RAINBOW" PATINA.  DARKER COLOR IS MOST REPRESENTATIVE, AS OTHER PHOTOS TAKEN UNDER BRIGHTER LIGHT.
    I ALSO AM OFFERING ANOTHER WITH DARK PATINA, WHICH WAS ON TOP.
    HAVE COLLECTED TOKENS AND MEDALLIONS SINCE THE 1950'S AND THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE FOUND ANY OF THIS STYLE.  DON'T MISS GREAT PIECE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.  CHOOSE FIRST CLASS SHIPPING OR PRIORITY MAIL WITH INSURANCE AT CHECK-OUT.
