Found this medallion to day it says 8th annual tournament firemans' association July 1896. It was only about an inch down 1890 home.

Congrats on pulling a very cool find. That's 119 years old :thumbsup:

You don't see those every day.

It's from Illinois. It would interesting to find out how it ended up in a farming community in northern Utah
