Boston Athletic Association Medallion by: Anonymous
Thank you for writing in. What an interesting sporting medallion! I feel certain your medallion would be of great interest to friends and supporters of the Boston Athletic Association. Does it have a family history attached?
The date 1887 that appears on the medallion is the date the Boston Athletic Association was established in 1887, a non-profit organization with a mission of managing athletic events and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports, especially running. The unicorn is the company trademark.
The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest and most prestigious annual marathon and part of the World Marathon Majors.
The mark: "G*F" makes me suspect it may be gold filled. Concerning the maker's mark you could make further enquiries with the Boston Athletic Association.
