MORE ON THE BARON VON STEUBEN MEDALSRegarding Bob Fagaly's question on the Baron Von Steuben medals, Julia Casey writes: "The 1976 medal should be signed A. Kolb on the obverse for Alphonse Kolb. Kolb has been mentioned in the E-Sylum before. The watch fob is said to date from about 1890 or so, and the maker's mark on the back should read Whitehead & Hoag." Julia added these research notes. Thank you! -Editor

https://archive.org/details/thanksgivingsale1981john/page/18/ One of these sold recently on eBay. I couldn't read the maker mark on the back of the E-Sylum photo, but was able to use the auction listing that identified Whitehead & Hoag. This photo is a bit clearer to show it. 
Worthpoint listing for another of the Kolb medals https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/friederich-steuben-inspector-generals-4885820482 A 2008 E-Sylum article is on Alphonse Kolb and an article from 2009 mentions Kolb possibly making medals for the Steuben Society.
