This one was awarded to the 507th Coast Artillery (AA) For Outstanding Performance In The Coast Artillery Corps 1934. The brass portion was made by GORHAM. I don’t know much about the history of this award. The Coast Artillery formed in 1901 and ended in 1950. I was told these awards began around 1932. I’d be willing to bet none were presented after 1941. During certain years, more than one award was given. I believe two were awarded in 1934. This plaque was presented by Colonel Wilson the 7th Corps Chief of Staff and awarded to the 507th. The 507th CO and XO had their name plates added to the bottom of this plaque. The plaque came from the estate of the CO’s family. Thanks to a good friend, he found a news article from the Des Moines Tribune showing Colonel Wilson presenting this EXACT plaque. I could find only one plaque known to exist. It is in a New York museum. It is shown as belonging to the Old Guard of The City of New York and was presented to the 244th Coast Artillery T. You can see the pictures online. The wood portion of my plaque measures 23 1/2 inches tall, 19 1/4 inches wide and 5/8 inches thick. The bronze portion measures 19 3/4 inches tall, 14 1/4 inches wide and 5/16 inch thick. The entire piece weighs just under 16 pounds. I found some information on the 507th: 507th Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment (SM) Constituted in OR 7-29-21 as 507th Arty, CAC, and allotted to the Seventh Corps Area. Des Moines, IA, March 1922.

Certificates are overall in pretty good shape- Some are excellent, some have some light spotting/ soiling or a little wear. Also included are 2 scrapbooks- Both are partially full and Ive shown the majority of pages but theres probably 8 or so no shown that didnt have anything really “exciting” on them. Except for some loose items here and there, the stuff is glued in the scrapbooks. The smaller one is kind of falling apart but the bigger one is in better shape. Some coast guard items and stuff in the smaller one is about 1933/1934. Has a card/ ticket to the 1934 Yale Harvard Regatta. His wife attended Connecticut University so theres some stuff in there from her college days. The larger scrapbook has some newspaper clippings from Mardi Gras in Galveston TX. Has some clippings etc from the great 1938 Hurricane and another in 1944.
