1851 CRYSTAL PALACE EXHIBITOR'S MEDAL

Geoffrey Bell writes: "A couple of newsletters back Jim Barry
asked about the Exhibitor medal issued at the 1851 Crystal
Palace Exhibition in London, England. He noted that he had
located one with "United States # ---"on the edge. All exhibitors
were given these medals as a thank you for exhibiting. If the
Exhibitor was American, the edge read, "United States # 40"
for example. This was true of exhibitors from all participating
countries. If one wishes to identify who the exhibitor was,
simply go to the official catalogue of the exhibition and the
number and exhibitor is listed. The trick is to find the catalogue
but some better quality libraries have the volume in their
antiquarian book section."
