SELZ OF CHICAGO Award Vintage Liberty Bell Bronze Medal Scholarship Deportment

This is an older SCHOLARSHIP AWARD shaped like the LIBERTY BELL!

It has a bar along the top that has the clasp and a dangling Liberty Bell piece.  The metal appears to be bronze or could be a dark copper.

Written on the top bar portion: "Award for Highest Average".

There is writing on both the front and the back of the Liberty Bell portion.  This seems to be put on the bar pin above in reverse with all the text positioned as the front and the more decorative side positioned as the back.

Text "Morris Selz - Liberty Bell Medal - 1776 - Awarded for Proficiency in Scholarship and Deportment".

The reverse side is lined with a logo tilted across the center that reads "Selz Chicago".
