Item Details
Description
This 5-1/4-inch galvano-negative was designed by Medallic Art Company for an award medal given by the The Daughters of the Confederacy WWII. The final struck piece was a 1-3/8-inch Maltese cross-shaped item bearing the Latin words FORTIS, CREANTUR, FORTIBUS, 1861-1865 (dates of the American Civil War) and 1941-1945 (dates of WWII). The metal piece would have been suspended from a colored ribbon with a pinback at the top. Would have been cataloged as MACo-1946-031. See other galvano items in this auction for details on Medallic Art Company and how this was made. It is extremely rare for items like this to appear on the market, and it probably surfaced after the 2016 bankruptcy of Northwest Territorial Mint which had purchased Medallic Art Company in 2009. Approx 6 inches in diameter and weighs about 12 ounces. The back of the galvano is still coated with soft wax, and the copper electrode wire is still attached.Date: 1946Country (if not USA): State: City: Provenance:
