Jean Vernon 2½ inch
I have found two sets of Jean Vernon medallions, 2½" and 1½" in diameter. They come from a variety of sources and tended to range between $30 and $75 apiece.
For the 2½" medallions, two sources have been John Wiersma in Holland in Sept., '03 (three for $30 each), and Frances Trachtenberg, Massapequa Park, NY, March, '04 ($75 for MM).
The workmanship on these medallions is outstanding! The Wiersma medallions have notifications on the verso: "Crepsa - 1950 - I: Dr. M. Van de Wyer"; "Crepsa - 1952 - 2 C. Tr. - I: Le Dr. M. Van de Wyer"; and "Crepsa - 1952 - C.D. Tr. Eprs - I: Le Dr. M. Van de Wyer." Otherwise the verso tends to be blank. From what I gather on the web, our collection is missing only FG in the 2½" medallions. The designs here are identical with those on Albert Gilles' medallions in this collection!
