Track Medal ~ Any Idea of Age?

[Baldingboy]

Any idea how old this track medal is?

I don't think it is too old....just wondering if anyone else knew.




Thanks,

my wild guess is late 50's early 60's because of the nylon

That would be cool.

Cool find.
Given the medal shows male and female runners, I would guess it is a medal for either a marathon or fun-run of some sort. Likely the V indicates it's for the fifth time the event was run.
I would WAG it as around 1980's
Hopefully someone else can pin it down more accurately for you.

The 80's is what I was thinking....but purely a guess. I do think however, the V stands for Victory.

V for Victory usually means the end of WWII.

Nylon was invented in 1935, first commercially used in 1938 toothbrushes. Would be hard to get during the war but post maybe.

V being the Roman numeral for 5, maybe the medal is from a 5K run.
