MORE ON MEDALS MADE OF SOAP

Responding to the 1951 Festival of Britain Medal Made of Soap, Paul Cunningham writes:

Robert King of Lincoln In Numismatics fame spoke of a Capt. Andrew C. Zabriskie who claimed to have had a Lincoln medal made of soap. Nothing further is known of the soap medal and you will not find any more information on soap nor any other non-metallic material in my new book (Lincoln's Metallic Imagery - A Catalog and Price List of Lincoln Coins, Tokens, Medals and Plaques)!

Ira Rezak of Stony Brook, NY writes:

Here's a French soap medal, perhaps a generation or two earlier than the Festival of Britain, or is it just a bar of soap?

Philip Mernick writes:

You asked for soap medals other than the 1951 Festival of Britain one. I attach images of items from my brother Harold’s collection.

1935 George V, Silver Jubilee soap medal

1935-2 George V, Silver Jubilee soap medal

1935 George V, Silver Jubilee, from Vinola & Joseph Margerison

1937, George VI, Coronation, Vinola & Joseph Margerison

1953, Elizabeth II Coronation, Margerison
