gunnertwo Posted July 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2021 Saw John's post on the upcoming Dewey Medal book (missed noticing it earlier-my bad). Sent him some pics of my group and document. Thought I'd share it here on the Forum. Adam R did some research in 2010 when owned by another collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted July 11, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2021 That is one gorgeous medal. Words just aren’t enough. Forgive my ignorance please, are those red Tiffany boxes what they were issued in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnertwo Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 11, 2021 John S had that question also. Per his info this medal is from the first production so I'm thinking yes. We've seen the later version with the fitted interior. Hopefully others will post replies. Thanks, G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmedalman Posted July 11, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2021 A fabulous group, Greg. And the Manila Bay society cert signed by Dewey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted July 12, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2021 Beautiful group. Never saw a Society of Manila Bay cert. or Tiffany red case for the medal, only the tan one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agate hunter Posted July 12, 2021 Share #7 Posted July 12, 2021 Amazing group! Two of the Concord's 6-inch guns were given to the city of Seattle in 1912 I believe, were on display there until a few years ago, when they were acquired by the Veteran's Memorial Museum in Chehalis, WA. The museum repainted them, they look great. I drive by them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmedalman Posted July 12, 2021 Share #8 Posted July 12, 2021 The guns look a lot better than the last time I saw them in Woodland Park. Nice to see they found a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, G2 Weren’t they all (i.e the 1800 or so awarded Tiffany-made named medals) from the “first”‘production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnertwo Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted July 12, 2021 John asked me to check if there was a "T" marking on the rim of my Dewey, none present. He related that Tiffany placed the mark after the first run. He will see this comment and respond. Thanks. G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted July 13, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 13, 2021 I think it would make more sense if a later (i.e. replacement) medal had other than the originally issued tan case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G2 All replacement Dewey Medals after late 1899 or early 1900 were hallmarked on the rim with a Tiffany hallmark. This hallmark changed over time. The photo attached is f a reissue medal about 1901 showing the first style hallmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
