FAQs

During the 1920s and 1930s, sports medallions were frequently commissioned by clubs and athletic associations to commemorate tournaments and victories. These items reflected the popular Art Deco aesthetic of the era, incorporating geometric symmetry and dynamic figures into metalwork.

1920s sports medals were predominantly struck or cast in sterling silver, silver plate, bronze, or gold. Silver pieces were commonly finished with die-struck relief work and featured stamped hallmarks or dates indicating the silver purity and maker.

Authentic pieces from this period usually feature official silver hallmarks, date letters, or makers marks stamped on the reverse or rim. The artistic relief style generally displays characteristic period details in attire, hairstyle, and anatomical depiction.

An antique sports medallion can be worn as a pendant on a modern silver chain or attached to a traditional Albert watch chain. Alternatively, collectors often display medallion collections inside glazed pocket watch display cases or framed velvet mounts.

Silver medals should be cleaned gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove surface tarnish without wearing down relief details. Avoid harsh chemical dips or abrasive polishes, and store the metal in a low-humidity environment inside a tarnish-resistant pouch.
