QSAMIKE Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Good Evening Everyone…… Well day two of the Calgary Easter Show is over…… A bit disappointed as there were not as many medal dealers there as usual so had to find something else to purchase, after all I could not let all that money burn a hole in my pocket….. I will admit there was a lot of Militaria of all different kinds but nothing for me……. Except…… This is what I did purchase……. A Sea Gallantry Medal (Board of Trade Medal for Gallantry at Sea) Named: JOSEPH TAYLOR of the FISHING BOAT “CONTENT” 13th JANUARY 1881 A photograph of Joseph Taylor A Royal Humane Society Medal Named: JOSEPH TAYLOR 13th JANUARY 1881 Along with these medals an photo were his Certificate of Competency and two copies of his Board of Trade Death Certificate…… Of course no research done yet…… Mike
Laurence Strong Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Day two? I was under the impression it only started today......... Larry
QSAMIKE Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Day two? I was under the impression it only started today......... Larry Yes Day One to the General Public but I am sure that you know there is a little bit of horse trading while the setup is going on...... LOL.......
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Mike - both very nice medals. The Royal Humane Society Medal has rocketed in price over the past three years. Was it a succesful saving - or, did the person drown. The wording on the reverse shows this - I did list the wordings on an earlier post. Mervyn
QSAMIKE Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Good Morning Mervyn...... The information that I have found out so far is that it was succesful....... Can you post a link to your earlier post...... Mike
Brian Wolfe Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Mike, I would say you secured a great piece of history, whether military or not. Very nice artifact, well done and you didn't make commit the collector's sin of keeping money in your pocket: God bless you my son. Regards Brian
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Mike - it had been brought back - should be near this post now. Mervyn
