moremarbles4me Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've recently added this marble tournament medal to my collection. I was wondering if anyone had seen one like it before. Hanging from the bottom of the wreath is a "stem" for the lack of a better word. I was wondering if some piece / part is missing? Thanks, Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nice find. It would be very cool if an agate hung there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moremarbles4me Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm betting it was a agate given the date of 1923 Thanks, Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Charles - on the back... what does it say below the date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moremarbles4me Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 The front of the medal reads " City of Detroit Marble Champion 1923" On the back it reads "Presented by Weyhing Bros Mfg Co" Won by Thomas J Morgan June 7 1923 .....Solid Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatmacscott Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Pure speculation but what about something like this agate? Not from Detroit like your pin but it has a little hole on the top where the pin would fit. The agate is less than 3/4th of an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
