Elegant 10k yellow gold winners medal. Medal measures approximately 1.5″ in diameter, weighs approximately one ounce, and is attached to its beautiful original ribbon and crossbar for an overall length of 3.5.″ Reverse of the medal bears raised letters that read, “EAA Field Day, Olympic Trials, June 1, 1912,” with the front showing several athletes waving the Banners of Victory. Condition is extra fine plus. This medal would have been presented at the Eastern Athletic Association Field Day, with this particular medal going to Evert Jansen Wendell, regarded as the ‘Father of Harvard Athletics,’ and would have qualified Wendell to compete in the 1912 Summer Olympics. An impressive display piece emanating from a pioneer American track and field star and future International Olympic Club (IOC) member.
