2 old medallions - same hole!

[bingbingbing]

After pulling the first medallion (the Columbus) - I rechecked the hole and found the Paris Worlds fair medal ---- crazy! I found an 1886 Indian nearby ...

Needless to say, I'm going back to the property today to search some more : - )

[FONT=&quot]Robert Bolling Brandegee (1848 – 1922)
Robert Bolling Brandegee, painter and teacher was born in Berlin, Connecticut in 1849. Although information about his early art training is vague it is believed that he studied with John Henry Hill and later had a winter of instruction with Thomas Charles Farrer. Brandegee’s early works were small-scale watercolors painted in the exacting technique and brilliant palette of the American Ruskinian circle, the Pre Raphaelites.
In April, 1872, Brandegee left for Paris where he worked in the small atelier of Louis-MarieFrancois Jacquesson de la Chevreuse, and, on August 24, 1875, enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.’ Among the other American artists who studied with Jacquesson were J. Alden Weir, Dwight William Tryon, and Montague Flagg. (Weir later became a member of the New York selection committee for the 1889 Exposition and was probably instrumental in having Brandegee’s one entry accepted.) red emphasis added.
