Thanks DCMatt!!!!!!! I don't find any listed as being made of pewter though. 1449. NY Old Oaken Bucket Temperance Medals, 1841. The origin of these medals was not known until Spencer Radnich published a twenty-eight page paper on them in the Oct. 2004 TAMS Journal. They were issued by Ashbel Wells Ridley of Rochester, New York, who was General in the New York State Militia. The dies were cut by Bale and Smith. Temperance slogan in very small letters around man drawing water from a well using the "old oaken bucket" (hence the name of the medal) / "I Pledge to Use No Intoxicating Drink as a Beverage" around "Temperance Leads to Health, Wealth, Happiness and Long Life, A. W. R." Not in Rulau. Three pieces, 24 mm, gilt copper or gilt brass. XF to Uncirculated. $30.00-35.00+
