For your consideration is this vintage Utica Club brass medallion. This may have been originally attached to a keychain. It is 1.25inches (3.1Cm) in diameter. It was made by The Metal Arts Company, of Rochester, NY, probably in the 50s. This Company is no longer in existence.
Featuring Schultz and Dooley, UC’s long time mascots, this vintage item executed in high relief, is really appealing. It is in good shape, with only a few minor signs wear around its rim.
This is another great example of mid Century advertising.
Thank you, Johnsmith!
The mascots are adorable!
