Jean Vernon 2½ inch
Dublin Core
Title
Jean Vernon 2½ inch
Description
I have found two sets of Jean Vernon medallions, 2½" and 1½" in diameter. They come from a variety of sources and tended to range between $30 and $75 apiece.
For the 2½" medallions, two sources have been John Wiersma in Holland in Sept., '03, and Frances Trachtenberg, Massapequa Park, NY, March, '04.
The workmanship on these medallions is outstanding! The Wiersma medallions have notifications on the verso: "Crepsa - 1950 - I: Dr. M. Van de Wyer"; "Crepsa - 1952 - 2 C. Tr. - I: Le Dr. M. Van de Wyer"; and "Crepsa - 1952 - C.D. Tr. Eprs - I: Le Dr. M. Van de Wyer." Otherwise the verso tends to be blank. From what I gather on the web, our collection is missing only FG in the 2½" medallions.
