1942 Medal Davis, Bradford & Corson Bronze Nashville, Tennessee

Coin Details

Description

This 1942 bronze medal produced by Davis, Bradford & Corson of Nashville, Tennessee, is a local commemorative from the World War II era. Davis, Bradford & Corson was a Nashville-based firm that produced medals, badges, and commemorative items. The wartime date and Nashville location suggest this may commemorate a military installation, bond drive, or patriotic event in the Tennessee capital during the height of American involvement in World War II. Nashville was home to several military facilities during the war, and local medal production for military and patriotic purposes increased dramatically after Pearl Harbor. The bronze composition was standard for commemorative medals of this era, when precious metals were increasingly directed toward the war effort. Regional commemorative medals from World War II document the home front experience across America.
