kirsti Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 My Paternal Grandparents immigrated from Denmark at the turn of the 20th century. When they died, their things were passed down to their children. My Father died last year, and I found this lovely medal (?) in his desk. I'm hoping that it is Danish! There is no backmark. It has a pin closure. Thank you for any assistance in finding out what this is, and what country it came from!
Sir Denmark Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I managed to find something close to. On the website thewheelmen.org, it is described as being a part of the Department of Public Parks in New York (D.P.P) and issued for bikers in the late 1884's. http://www.nycgovparks.org/about/history/bicycling: Look here, it is a long one, but it says something about it quite well. Sorry to say it probably isn't a danish one. Did your grandparents immigrate to the US? Hope this is a little help
