Default Rare Dauvray Cup medal for New York

During 1887 actress Helen Dauvray, who later married John Montgomery Ward, offered a trophy for the team that won the championship 3 years in a row. Detroit won in 1887 and New York won in 1888 and 1889.

Since the cup would always be held by the President of the winning club, she decided to give the players a medal that they could each keep. Beginning in 1887 medals would go to players on the team that won their first championship (of the 3 required to win the cup), as well as those players winning the championship for the third and last time.

The Hall of Fame has 3 Dauvray medals from Detroit players Dan Brouthers, Hardy Richardson, and Sam Thompson.

New York won in 1888 and 1889, so the NY players must have each received a medal for 1888. The HOF does not have any NY Dauvray medals, only Detroit.

Has anybody seen a Dauvray medal for an 1888 New York player?
Have any come up for auction?
If you find a picture of any New York medals please post them.
The back of the medals have the player's name and the position played.
Thanks.
Paul C.
