WARREN & SON, SACRAMENTO

"Regarding Dave Hirt's question in his commentary on J.N.T. Levick: "There is a token in this sale that I can not identify. It is lot 1056 Warren & Son, Sacramento, tin, size 25. Perhaps our token collector readers can help us identify it. "
"This is most likely one of the agricultural medals that I wrote about in the June 2020 issue of the Medal Collectors of America MCA Advisory. Col. J.L.L.F. Warren issued two sizes - the smaller one, for his 1852 Agricultural and Horticultural Fair is 1.5 inches in diameter or "size 24" in the old catalogs. I suspect that the "size 25" listing came from a slight error in measurement. Almost all of the examples of this medal that I could locate in old catalogs are unawarded.
"I also spoke about Col. Warren at the 1st Newman Numismatic Portal symposium. SeeAward Medals from the California State Fair and their Precursors(https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/588176)
"See above for a picture of the medal in "tin"
