Sheldon Family Arms / Seated Liberty mule, white metal, 39.8mm
I am not sure what to make of this medal. Baker calls this the work of
Robert Jr., Musante has no attribution. The Seated Liberty die is used
with a signed George H. die for the Seneca Falls Academy. Could the
Family Arms die also be the work of George H.? This is the only example
I know of currently.
Henry Luther Sheldon was born August 15 1821. I have not been
able to make any connection to "H.A.S. 1870"
