Product Overview
This authentic vintage charity donor medal honors contributions to the historic Community Chest campaign (the precursor to the modern United Way). The unique pendant is finely crafted in a brassy gold-tone metal, detailed in the distinct shape of a treasure chest or storage trunk with raised "COMMUNITY CHEST" lettering. It hangs from a rich blue satin ribbon cleanly printed with the slogan "I CARE." The top bar pin features a cream-colored insert accented by two vertical red stripes. The reverse side features the crisp maker's stamp of the renowned Bastian Bros. Co. out of Rochester, New York, alongside an official union logo mark. This rare piece of early philanthropic ephemera is a fantastic crossover collectible for historical medal enthusiasts and charity organization collectors alike.
