A number of opinions exist concerning the "mystery" medal about which I wrote an earlier journal entry

Well, there were a number of opinions about the "mystery" California medal which appeared in an earlier journal entry. One person thought is was a modern (dremell) alteration to a 1925 California Diamond Jubilee Medal. Most folks believed that is was an alteration of the 1925 medal. Malcolm had an interesting theory that unsold 1925 fobs/medals were reconfigured for use at the 1937 Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta Celebration.

Since I have owned two of these altered medals, I think, for the present, that it was a 1925 Medal re-done for the 1937 Fiesta Celebration (and not a modern "hobo" medal).

I have appended an image of a real 1925 California Diamond Jubilee Medal (with ribbon). Compare this one with the earlier medal. Thanks for all the input! Cal Gold 'Token" Guy
