- 1889 Washington Inaugural Centennial. Committee of the Celebration badge by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Philip Martiny. Musante GW-1136, Douglas-54. Bronze. MS-64 BN (PCGS). 34.9 mm. (without the hanger). Lovely light reddish brown surfaces virtually glow with satin orange luster. Uniform and quite handsome with just a bit of superficial fingerprinting at the rightmost obverse. Issued with a pinbar and suspension ribbon, but those are lost. This smaller version was distributed to committee members for the celebration and members of the New York Legislature, and were meant to be worn. Those for the Legislature had gilt lettering on the suspension ribbon identifying them as such. Provenance: Ex William Spohn Baker Collection, to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by bequest, November 15, 1897. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
