 1928 Silver Medal
More information about these medals would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings wise ones,
I have
been approached by a gentleman who has a rare little collectible in his
possession. He is asking the following questions.
I am
looking for information on a medal I have from Donald M. Healey.
The
medal is Donald's 1928 London to Land's End Silver and has been
authenticated via Hallmarks.
The
medal is from the Motor Cycle Club founded in 1901 that allowed cars to
participate in the event.
Some
questions I have if you have the knowledge or resources to
address:
1) How
rare do you feel this medal might be noting that most events award
trophies?
2) Any
knowledge that the Healey family allowed other medals to be
sold?
3) Who
would be the best resource to appraise the value of this
medal?
4)
Other than eBay are you aware of any person or business that would
have additional medals available to purchase?
