The E-Sylum: Volume 7, Number 44, October 31, 2004, Article 9 THE BRENNER HANEY MEDAL Mike Marotta writes: "On the Usenet newsgroup rec.collecting.coins, Roger DeWardt Lane asked about a medal designed by Victor D. Brenner. (Lane is the author of "Modern Dime Size Coins of the World", a CD which won the 2003 Numismatic Literary Guild Award for for Best Software.) Lane found the medal at a swap meet. The obverse shows a woman reading a manuscript; in the exergue is "For Fine Craftsmanship." The reverse says "Haney Medal Awarded 1940 by the School Art League of New York City" with "Medallic Art Co." below. Brenner's name is vertical along the left side of the obverse. Lane asked, "Who was Haney?" Searching the Worldwide Web via Google, I put together a long reply and posted it to RCC in the thread "Does anyone know who HANEY was?" Here is a synopsis: James Parton Haney was an art educator. He is associated with the School Art League of New York City. He had at least one exhibition of his own drawings in Chicago March 15 thru April 2, 1917. He edited a book in 1908 titled: "Art Education in the Public Schools of the United States." You can see Haney's work at the John H. Vanderpoel Art Association in Chicago. Dr. Mary Ann Stankiewicz (Penn State) said in the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education maillist newsletter: "...Frank Alvah Parsons and Henry Turner Bailey and James Parton Haney who believed they had qualifications that insured their superiority over female teachers of art and art amateurs..." (More Info) While I was uploading that, Bust coin enthusiast, Byron L. Reed, posted this: "It might be James Parton Haney, a painter." The medal can be seen at Medal Image " Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
