Vintage 1930s sterling silver military award presented to B. Brantigan in the early 1930s. Inscription on medal reads Presented annually by direction of the President of the United States to the most efficient vessel in her class in naval engineering. Medal is a miniature version of the much larger plaque awarded to the vessel as a trophy, most likely made just for the crew. A previous naval engineering trophy was attributed to Henry Reuterdahl in design, and another to Bailey Banks and Biddle as the maker. Box appears to have been made especially for the medal as the submarine vessel was docked in Shanghai during that period Other than that I had a hard time researching this naval trophy so feel free to message me if you have any insight. Hallmarks: Reverse side is stamped “Sterling” and the engraving reads U. ” Box is marked “Nose Dragon & Co. 2262 Boone Road, Shanghai. Dimensions: Length With Bale 1 3/8″ x Width 1 3/8″. Box Length 2 1/4″ x Width 2 1/4″ x Height 7/8. Weight: Pendant 18.75 grams. With Box 39.26 grams. Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear and minor tarnish to silver. Wear to exterior of box with soiling to fabric.
