K. & r. B. Thurber & Co. offered a handsome $50 Gold Medal in a satin case for the best exhibit of " honey in the most marketable ; We ap- pend two cuts of this medal, showing each side with inscriptions. Fig. On its face (lig. 1) are the words in enamel: "For the best honey in most marketable ; The gold bar, to which is attached the pin, is made to represent a honey-comb, with a bee, of raised gold and enamel, settled upon the comb and busy at work. From the bar, suspended by two chains, hangs the medal proper, which is thicker than a silver dollar. In the centre is an old-fashioned straw hive in a garden, made of raised gold, upon a field of very bright gold, and around this are the words above quoted. On the reverse (flg. 2) are the words: "The Thurber Medal, awarded to G. M. Doolittle, 1877," as seen in the cut. The medal and case, the latter hav- ing a plate-glass top, was made for Messrs. Thurber & Co., by Schuyler, Hartman & Graham, of New York.
