Professional medal guy here. I’ve actually catalogued/authenticated a Nobel Peace Prize before (it brought over a million bucks at auction).

That’s not even a Nobel Peace Prize. The medal depicted is awarded for physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature.

Idiot. This is what the Nobel Peace Prize looks like. (Auction record here: auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/1-1N…)

I tweeted today about electing historians to public office & supporting our history teachers to fight white supremacy in state legislatures. Then fate dropped a historical figure into my lap to make the point. Her name was Kathryn H. Stone. I had never heard of her before. THREAD In my line of work, I look at a lot of random auctions for historical artifacts to buy, then resell to collectors. I found a lot of composite photos of Virginia House of Delegates members between 1948 and 1956. I squinted: all white folks, and pretty much all guys too. (2/14)
