dave in iowa

Pappy, i think this is a better picture of the medal, it is william mckinley on the front and has to do with the full lunch pale movement in about 1900, i think , any info from you would be great and what it may be worth ? President Mckinley in oval , above the picture it says "for president" , the White House above that , then it says," the fullest dinner pail" and a man carring the lunch pail on his back , inside the pail it says" tarriff for graph only" on top is the eagle , arrows in one claw , olive branch in the other , on the other side , bottom oval it say's "labor organizations and their members should not be regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade " next one says " the election of senators by direct vote of the people" with a picture of the white house,, next one say's " eight hour law should be extended" with a picture of uncle sam looking out over a factory scene with a crowd of men and a sign saying , 5 thousand men wanted . last panel is two american flags waving > Made of bronze i think. thanks pappy. The measurements are in boobien's post just down the line.

DAVE, It would be from 1901-1903 and I am having a hard time finding the exact one that you have. You may want to browse around at the following site and I'll keep trying to find the one you have.

Dave, I am unable to locate anything like it. You may want to take it to the museum or to the local Historical Society and let them look at it.
