MORE ON NEW ENGLAND MEDALS

  Bob Fritsch writes: "I sent last week's E-Sylum to my good
  friend Bob Heath since he was mentioned in it, and got this
  response.  Bob probably knows more about New England
  medals as a whole than any other person alive.  His catalogs
  are currently being updated with many new and corrected
  entries."

  Bob Heath writes: "Thanks for sending me the E-Sylum
  article. I would like to make a few comments which you can
  pass along if you want:

  -Storer 1559, listed as 60mm, also exists in 28mm

  -Storer 1563, listed as 17mm but actually 19mm, was made
    by Schwaab Stamp and Seal Co. It was hung from an eagle
     stick pin common to many of these Schwaab Lord's Prayer
     pieces. (The piece in the MHS collection does not have the
     stick pin.)

  -The "one more" that I added to my catalog is Storer 201,
    the BNS sixtieth anniversary piece issued in 1920.

  -Finally, I think the piece that John Merz asked about is
    Storer 1561 which Dick Johnson has identified as by Julio
    Kileny, (See MA239-9)

  Hope this helps complete the picture.  Note:
  MHS=Massachusetts Historical Society
  BNS=Boston Numismatic Society."
