U.S. Steel Service Medals

Awesome two medal set, attributed to Julio Kilenyi, engraver. Gold medal(14K) for 50 yrs of service and silver medal for 35 years of service (awarded to Frank T. Horan) a U.S. Steel employee. Comes in a worn black fob

Growing up in Pittsburgh, there were a lot of U.S. Steel medals in dresser drawers around the neighborhood, and my family had one, too. But the gold ones are rare - I don't believe I've ever seen one in person. The storage case is nice, too. -Editor
