1910 Medallion!

So it was 40 degrees and raining. I found so many scrap metal targets. I was almost ready to quit when I found this!!! I don't think it has much value, but it is 107 years old, and it shows the old Rochester aqueduct, and waterfalls. Also in the very middle it says Xcelsior the New York motto Latin for "ever"

They met on Dec. 27. 28 and 29--1910--and discussed some, no doubt, controversial subjects like:
Investigation with regard to laggards.
How should we educate mental defectives?

Hello Folks! Thanks for checking it out, and thanks for the link Mackaydon. I love finding objects that tell the age. I searched photos of my city last night from 1910, and the country too. What a different time period!
