[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 395321, member: 136"]I found reference to them as early as 1921 at 32 N Broadway in Yonkers, but I haven't been able to find any sort of "end date". My first thought was that this must be high school or college medal. Because N Traub appears to have been a jeweler/jewelry store, not a manufacturer, I was thinking that the school might well be somewhere in the metro NYC area - perhaps even tri-state (i.e. NY/NJ/CT.) Further, the school name probably started with an "H", and the school colors would likely have been blue and white. The only school I came up with was HOTCHKISS (a boys' prep school, in CT) but there is no evidence that they ever used a background shield shaped like the one on this medal. (Mind you, this is pure conjecture, start to finish, simply based on years of collecting school/college memorabilia...)[/QUOTE]
