Dieter3 Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Another new arrival - boxed Gold Order of Merit. What I'm not certain about is if this accompanied an actual medal, or if this IS the "medal"? I believe it is....Paul??? Well, at least this has shed some light on the (to me) mystery of these little plastic boxed lapel pins!! Apparently this one was given for this recipient being a generous blood donor. 1984 "vintage". Box has a tear in the upper right hand corner that was repaired and the interior is heavily foxed, but intact. Overall pretty nice, I was happy to find this one too:
Dieter3 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Here's the plaque inside the styro liner. Plaque appears to have been packed in an original plastic bag, but no need to show that! A few scuffs to the plaque, but at least they're not gouges: Edited June 27, 2010 by Dieter3
Dieter3 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 Here's the styro liner and the pin inside. Liner is a bit dirty and has a few scars, but no big pieces missing or cracks:
Dieter3 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 This pin is actually one that I posted previously wondering what the heck it was for - so this has got to be it!! Perfect fit, makes sense, yeah? So there must be a silver plaque too. Is there no end to the madness? :speechless:I runnin' out of space!
RichC Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I believe this was given to someone who worked to get blood donors (that is, worked in the blood donor department) rather than one who donated a lot of blood...
Dieter3 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 Ah ha!! Thank you for that clarification! :beer:
