QUERY: EAGLE ENGRAVING & STAMPING INFORMATION SOUGHTRalf Boepple writes: I found this in a German coin and medal auction. I have no idea of the background of this item, but in my experience as a long time reader of the E-Sylum, I figured it could be of interest to the audience.
Indeed - this is an interesting item. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Eagle Engraving & Stamping Company. Can anyone tell us more about the firm or this medal?

A web search turned up a clue on Bill Shamhart's web site. Another example of the medal is described as "One of Mr. Brenner’s first medallic efforts."

Further search turned up an unillustrated listing at the American Numismatic Society which seems to match this medal.

So this is an early Victor David Brenner medal. I found another unillustrated listing from the Stack's Philadelphia Americana Sale - 9/30/2010, Lot 5668. The medal sold for $690.00.
