Thanks, Phil. This pin was found with a group of items that all go back to the 1960s. It is also quite heavy. Any idea what type of metal it may be?

If Phil is knowledgeable of the "CL MED" identification, I defer to his judgment. As to the weight, perhaps the metal is lead-based. There is an area of collecting that is directed to medallions (of all types, political, civic, etc.). If you would like more information about it (reference books, etc.), I know someone who could help you out.

Here is an scan of the back of one of their "silver medals" that I have in stock right now. Notice the "CL MED" is still used today.
Their medals are made from brass right now. Some companies use zinc as well. Not 100% sure of what your medal is made of, but this company would never have used silver since they are in the wholesale business of medals. Last edited by pgellis; 05-05-2011 at 09:07 AM. Reason: misspelling
