Shearman Brothers Company 75th Anniversary Medal
1955
Description
The medal's obverse bears upholstered armchair. Around, SHEARMAN BROTHERS COMPANY / JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK; under chair, OUR / 75th YEAR
The reverse bears company's trademark. Around, MANUFACTURING QUALITY FURNITURE / DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY; in geometric logo, SHEARMAN / BROTHERS / COMPANY / HIGH GRADE / UPHOLSTERY / JAMESTOWN / NEW / YORK / TRADE / MARK
I find myself oddly attracted to this otherwise pretty standard corporate commemorative. The armchair is very nicely rendered with a floral pattern and the overall composition is pleasing.

International Paper Company - Fiftieth Anniversary Medal
