bagerap Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 So many fine medals come from this exhibition that I sometimes overlook a potential goody. This one had a reasonable photo on ebay but it's so much better in hand. All the silvered finish is intact and pristine. These are scans, so don't show just how good it is. Time to brush up on my photography skills. I was unable to find it in a quick browse through a borrowed copy of The World's Show by Leslie Lewis Allen (and there's a book definitely going on my shopping list) and my BHM is still on the missing list. Below the truncation is W. S. Taylor London. All ideas welcomed. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Nice medal Bob. I'm guessing you could make a mini-collection centered on that exhibit alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Could? I may have to start photographing. It'll take some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 BHM# 2459 CC. (very common) WM. 38mm by W. J. Taylor 1851 struck in the building of the exhibition. HP-B340 in The World's Show by Leslie Lewis Allen on page 61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks once again Pat. My brief glimpse at a friend's copy of The World's Show had me hooked. It's ordered and at £15.00, a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
