How about a "gold" medal ?

[WHADIFIND]

Since March got busy "going out like a lion", I decided it was time to clean out the attic some more.

I came across another one of the boxes I saved from an old, collapsed building, (with the owner's permission).
The other boxes I went through had some wonderful little surprises in them so I was being careful with this one as well.

I found this medal tucked in between the pages of an old folder. (Still need to read the papers in there. )
This is a most delightful find for me and thought I'd share. I already researched it and know what it is, so I'm not looking for an ID. Just wanted to share a nice piece of history.

(USAAC) UNITED STATES ARMY AMBULANCE CORPS IN WORLD WAR I.

Any medals or pinbacks made by Whitehead & Hoag are collectible and hold value. They were the premier makers of the time. Nice find/save.

All so true. If he hadn't given the service he did, we just might not be here typing about our finds.
Thanks!
