World Trip Medal

Navy medal from the first trip around the world?

while helping my mom dig a garden I found a old medal that appeared to be from the navy. Upon further research I was told that it was a suvenior from the first trip around the world with the first navy. The front has a picture of "fighting Bob" with the date on it. The date is 1908( i think, it is locked in a safe right now). When looking it up on the internet the information had the reference to " the great white fleet".

Any information, websites, or phone numbers to people who know anything regarding this commemorative medal would be wonderful. I tried to call the navy recruiter to inquire about it, but they wanted to lay claim to it. I have not found any pictures of it either. I do know that there were only about 500 printed.

I have already called muesums. no luck

Did it look like this?

Since its "dug", any ribbon is probably long gone and its likely not in the best shape, and so wouldnt command top price. The market for items like this is thin, but there are medal collectors out there.

eBay has a category for medals (Coins & Paper Money >
Exonumia > Medals ). You could search in the "completed auctions" but that only goes back a month, or watch to see if anything similar comes up, or just try listing yours to see what it will bring.

Best of luck.

The medal is presented to individuals for service above and beyond the call of duty. Most have been awarded posthumously, yet in this film 13 living recipients tell their stories. This documentary transports audiences to the battlegrounds of Little Round Top, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq.

Trip in the Light of the World

$22.39

EGOBAND is an excellent Italian band which melts with subtlety, musical emphasis, harmonic structure and instrumental richness of Progressive rock music, with the power of hard-rock. Recorded in 1991, "Trip In The Light Of The World" displays some dynamic parts with rageous guitar soli (Massimo FAVA). The result can be regarded as an original fusion between VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR and the best DEEP PURPLE. Let's also notice that Alessandro ACCORDINO sings in perfect English, and sometimes reminds Peter HAMMILL. Not to be missed !

In 1964, Ken Kesey, the famed author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," set off on a legendary, LSD-fuelled cross-country road trip to the New York World's Fair. He was joined by "The Merry Band of Pranksters," including Neal Cassady, the American icon immortalized in Kerouac's "On the Road." Kesey and the Pranksters intended to make a documentary about their trip, but the film was never finished and the footage has remained virtually unseen. With Magic Trip, Oscarr-winning director Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood were given unprecedented access to this raw footage to create a documentary of this extraordinary piece of American history.
