PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD EMPLOYEE SPORT MEDALS

George Cuhaj has been cataloging Pennsylvania Railroad Employee Sport Medals, and submitted this request for some assistance from readers. Who can help? -Editor

Pennsylvania Railroad Employee Sport Medals

Pennsylvania Railroad Sport Medal 3 Pennsylvania Railroad Sport Medal 4

I am in the midst of a 20-year project of cataloging PRR Sport Medals. These were sponsored from about 1895 thru 1910 by local RR YMCAs and from 1916 thru 1938 at the division, region or system wide levels. Many come in original card presentation boxes with ribbons, some are now without ribbons and others are watch fobs.

I am asking the readership who collect to share images, so as to expand my master listing (which I will then re-share with contributors) and then present a final catalog via a free on-line publishing service.

If you have any of these, I would like a nice 300 DPI jpg image of each side so that I can determine wording and engraving and size in millimeters. I have gone ahead with a listing in a future TAMS Journal, but I am still looking for more information.

My email is George.cuhaj@yahoo.com. I will not make any offers of purchase (unless you make mention that the items are available), this information is being collected for research purposes only, I will not share your contributions with others but for a general acknowledgement in the final product.

Along with this notice are several examples of what I'm looking for. Thank you very much.
