GINGRAS HUDSON'S BAY BOOK

  Jan Monroe writes: "I am not familiar with Darryl Atchison's
  requested articles on the Gold Hudson's Bay Company
  medals in Mehl's Numismatic Monthly.  However, there are
  excellent references to some of these gold medals in the
  book "Medals, Tokens and Paper Money of the Hudson's
  Bay Company"  by Larry Gingras.  This book was published
  by the Canadian Numismatic Research Society in 1975.  It
  is now hard to find and therefore expensive.   Gold medals
  discussed include the 30 year 9k gold long service medals,
  Vancouver Pioneer Association Medals in 14K gold, and
  the Lady Kindersley rescue medal in 9k gold.

  Darryl notes: "Yes, I am aware of the text by Gingras.  I
  don't own a copy, because as Jan says it must have been
  printed in a fairly small number.  I don't know if it is "expensive"
  ... just elusive.  I have seen it in a couple of auctions but
  have not been the successful bidder YET."
