Christy Mathewson "Grateful Recognition of Patriotic...

Christy Mathewson "Grateful Recognition of Patriotic Services" presentational medal with related booklet (Mathewson Collection). Presentational medal given to Christy Mathewson has "Pro Patria" text on the upper bar with a red, white, a blue ribbon below (near fully separated from the bar but positioned in the present display such that it appears intact). Hanging from the ribbon is a bronze medallion which has "United States Forces 1917-1918" text around the edge. It has been framed, along with a pair of images and related booklet, to 17"x20.25". We know from previously handling the medal that it reads, "Presented By The Citizens Of Union County, PA, In Grateful Recognition Of Patriotic Services In The World War" on back; 1925 "Military Order of the World War...Greater Boston Chapter Year Book." The booklet was issued in March of 1925 and Mathewson is listed among the members (again known from handling the piece prior to framing). Light wear and it is unknown how the pieces are secured in place. Includes Mathewson Collection certificate of provenance from our 2024 offering: See description
