Description
This uniface medallion was made for the American Cotton Manufacturers Association, most likely for a convention or national meeting held by the organization. The medallion is circular with scalloped edges and is attached to a watch fob chain. The producer, the Robbins Company, created souvenirs, athletic medals, and trophies as well as a large line of badges and medallions. This object is one of a large group transferred to Winterthur from the American Textile History Museum when it closed in 2017.
