Saw medals similar to those at one of the NOAC tradeorees yesterday
and the day before!

I was told they are contest medals, and the current "value" of them
are between $10 and $30 a piece, depending on how good they have

present red and white and blue and gold ribboned medals somewhere
around the early 60s.

Hope this helps out!
