I do not know much about this plaque. It appears to be an "unbranded" design of the Lehman Anniversary medallion's obverse. I would guess that this is a design that was created prior to Lehman Brothers' medallic commission and was then modified in accordance with customer requirements.
The subtly oval plaque measures 111.2mm x 115.7mm and was cast in bronze.

They were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus.
The medals were originally offered for a price of $34.95 per bronze piece and $169.00 per silver piece.

The paperweight's obverse bears two sculptures of native Americans on horseback as well as a monument at the bottom. Across, PRESENTED / TO / KARL T. KLOCK, JR. / OUR DISTINGUISHED GUEST / BY / KANSAS CITY MISSOURI / APRIL 10 - 1957
The reverse bears maker's mark GREEN K.C.
While certainly not one of the artistic highlights of American medallic art, this is the only heart-shaped medal I have in my collection. Just for that reason I wanted to include it here. I also found the life story of Karl T. Klock, which makes the medal more interesting, at least to me.
The paperweight was manufactured by Green of Kansas City. No mintage is reported.

The medal's obverse bears view of One IBM Plaza in Chicago, Illinois.
The reverse bears legend, One / IBM Plaza / Dedication / September 20 / 1972 / Chicago / Illinois
This very bare medal is actually quite interesting in its minimalist design. The building is of course an ugly 1970's sky-scraper, but the artist chose to forgo the traditional perspective rendering and instead go for an architectural view of the building.
I appreciate this medal as a fairly unique piece of architectural memorabilia.
The circular medal measures 64mm in diameter and was struck in bronze. No mintage is reported.
