These are some interesting items. The medal with the ribbon I feel is quite scarce.
It says on the front: "UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION OLYMPIC GAMES, ST. LOUIS, 1904, SPIRIT-MIND-BODY
Back says: "THROWING THE DISCUS, 1904"
The other two are not Olympic medals, but still quite interesting.
The medal in the upper right says:
"AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION OF THE UNITED STATES"
" JUNIOR 16 LB. HAMMER, H. G. FRANZ, MAY 31, 1917"
The medal in the lower right says:
"HERBERT FRANZ, 2ND PRIZE, DISCUS THROW, 25 SEPT.,1909.
