I have gone through the historic buildings in MA and can't put a positive ID on it. You're right, it does sort of look like a vase turned sideways. Figuring out what the middle thing is would probably ID this, or make it a hell of a lot easier.

Edit: Building on the right is the State House.

Edit again: Found it...

Great ID Crazyslasher but if you had given us one picture of the back it would have helped tremendously and besides its against TN rules to withhold such important clues. My guess is that you were not withholding on purpose but simply didnt realize the importance of the back picture. There is much writing on this medal that wasnt mentioned. So many new members are not giving us what we need to work with sometimes even after repeated requests... its very frustrating. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,259110.0.html

medal reads KP top center Twenty Fifth Convention with pictures of Bunker Hill, Old State House and Faneuid Hall, has maker mark on back The Whitehead & Houg Co

The important thing is, you made the ID. Now with the other item....

There is no writing on the back, sorry. It's either gone from being in the ground for so many years or it was on the top part of the medal, which I don't have. The writing on the medal that wasn't mentioned is because it's simply not there on mine, at least under loop you can't see it. If the writing was there I would have been able to positively ID it on my own a while back. I did screw up with the KR. Even now when I look at I see KR not KP, for whatever reason.
