    Description

    This original bronze medal is suspended from a red silk ribbon at the top of which is a GUEST bar that has a C clasp closure on its reverse.  The medal has great graphics of a fireman wielding an axe and below him, in an inset view, the Long Branch Pier.  The pier experienced an upper level fire in 1987 and was finally torn down in 2001.  It measures approx. 1 3/4" wide by 1 3/4" to the top of its loop attachment.  The ribbon has a bit of wear and tear and the medal could use a good polish which I'll leave up to you.  On the reverse side is printed its Whitehead & Hoag Co. of Newark, NJ mfg info.  Thanks for looking at this auction.
