The Congressional Gold Medal is the oldest, rarest, and highest US award for service, given to those who have made distinguished and lasting contributions to American history. Our client was a pilot among the DUSTOFF crews, where he volunteered to fly over 1,000 unarmed helicopter combat evac missions in Vietnam, saving over 3,000 wounded. Highlights from a life of travel and elegant taste include a Charles II cabinet circa 1600, Gorham and Wallace sterling silver sets, striking vintage bronzes, original artwork, and French antiques. Pick up is Tuesday, Feb 17 1-6pm in Overland Park, KS 66224. Brown Button Estate Sales onlinesales@brownbutton.com

This lot includes a pair of religious items. The first is a holy water font that is mounted on stone with brass backing. There is a ring for hanging on the reverse. It depicts Jesus and possibly Mary Magdalene in communion. Dimensions: 10.5” H x 6” W. The cross features a painted enamel design. The back is metal and bears a Paris hallmark along with the initials MJ and an additional indistinguishable hallmark. Dimensions: 8.75” H x 6” W. 

Condition

Good for age and use. There is a corner of the stone that has broken and been repaired. The mount does not appear to be original. There are signs of wear throughout. See photos for more condition details.
