1905 Womens Auxiliary of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association Presentation Medal. Bronze. 125.6 mm. by Frances Grimes and Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Marqusee-349, Storer-1321, Dryfhout-199. MS-64 (NGC Photo certificate).,When cataloged by D. Wayne Johnson in the Marquee Collection, it was thought that this medal was the design of Saint-Gaudens and executed by his studio assistance Frances Grimes. Further research by Bob Mueller, president of the Cornish Colony Museum, relates that this was most probably chiefly the work of Grimes under the critical tutelage of Saint-Gaudens. These medals were awarded by the Association to eighth grade and high school students for competitive essays on Civil Service Reform; later awards of this medal were made by other organizations. This medal is awarded to student CHARLES HOLT GOULD in the reverse cartouche, and the edge is marked GORHAM CO at the 6 oclock position relative to the obverse. A man by that name comes up in an online search, having been born in Webster, MA in 1893 and died in 1957. Brighter antique tan bronze patina that is different from others seen. A rare medal that is more difficult to find than its academic award nature might indicate, as it is collected by Saint-Gaudens, art medal and Massachusetts buffs alike; its rarity has been verified by price realizations as much as $10,000 for top quality pieces.
