I am sorry if my mentioning selling this medal in ebay upset any of you, that was not my intention.
I have been doing my research for several months now with little success.
I have written to packardinfo.com and was informed they have no knowledge of the medal or the contest on file.
I have written to half a dozen Packard car clubs and no response from them.
I have written to several medal producers that were in existance in the 40's, and they don't know who made these medals for Packard.
I have managed, thru the internet, to get a copy of the ad about the contest and a listing of the medals. There were 50 silver and 100 bronze, but I have been unable to find out who made the medals, what is their metalic content, which picture won this particular medal and if any others of this type have ever been offered.
I am a coin person and I would not sell a coin if I didn't know what it was or what it was worth. People ask me all the time about coins and I will always give them any info I have about the coin or it's value. All I asked was the same from this club. I don't think this was "a cheesy way of getting your research blurb". It's just a sharing of knowledge, isn't that what the club is about?
When I have finished my research I will gladly advise this forum of any major results and also let you know if I decide to offer this item for sale.
