U.S. Steel Service Medals
U.S. Steel Service Medals 1 U.S. Steel Service Medals 2 U.S. Steel Service Medals 3

Awesome two medal set, attributed to Julio Kilenyi, engraver. Gold medal(14K) for 50 yrs of service and silver medal for 35 years of service (awarded to Frank T. Horan) a U.S. Steel employee. Comes in a worn black fob

Growing up in Pittsburgh, there were a lot of U.S. Steel medals in dresser drawers around the neighborhood, and my family had one, too. But the gold ones are rare - I don't believe I've ever seen one in person. The storage case is nice, too. -Editor
