Wittnauer Precious Metals Guild – Great American Triumphs Sterling Silver 2-Medal Set – Original Presentation Box

Vintage two-medal sterling silver commemorative set produced by the Wittnauer Precious Metals Guild, featuring two important milestones in American history.

The set includes:

“Dawn of the Jet Age – 1959” – A detailed high-relief medal commemorating the beginning of America’s commercial jet age, featuring a passenger jet flying over prominent American landmarks.
“National Parks – Yellowstone – 1872” – Commemorating the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, with a detailed depiction of Old Faithful erupting before park visitors.
The Yellowstone medal is attributed to noted medallic artist Joseph DiLorenzo and is struck in .925 sterling silver, measuring approximately 40 mm in diameter. Wittnauer Precious Metals Guild medals from these series were produced as collectible precious-metal commemoratives celebrating significant events and achievements in American history.

Both medals display an attractive antique-style finish that emphasizes the detailed high-relief designs.

Presented in the original burgundy Wittnauer Precious Metals Guild fitted presentation box, marked “Makers of Fine Medallic Art.” The original box adds considerably to the presentation and collectibility of this vintage set.
