Max Bachman also created a souvenir medal for the Exhibition's official banquet which was held on October 30, 1913. It shares this medal's obverse but has a different legend on the reverse.

The circular medals measure 41mm in diameter. I have seen both a silver and a gold award medal from this event.  I assume that bronzes were struck as well but I do not know this for sure. No mintages are reprorted.

This uniface medal's obverse bears standing woman, cradling pallet in one arm and holding brushes and a winged trophy.  Around top right, PHILATELIC SHOW; igned at bottom right, V. D. Brenner

This is yet another slightly reworked restrike of Brenner's generic art award medal "Woman with a Pallet." It apparently still resonates with people as it did 100 years ago.

The circular medal measures 50.8mm in diameter and was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company. No mintage is reported.
