AUSTRALIAN JUVENILE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION BALLAARAT, 1878, in bronze (47mm) (C.1878/1), by E.A.Altmann, Melbourne, edge inscribed, 'R.H.Patton'. Good very fine.

The exhibition was held at Alfred Hall from about 16 February 1878. In Class XX - Turning and Carving in Stone, Marble, Ivory, Bone, Metal, Wood, Horn, Compositions, or other Materials - a news report noted R.H.Patton and others are represented by carving and fretwork boxes of various kinds. Another news report stated - a boy named Reginald H. Patton (Exhibitor No.446), only thirteen years old (actually 14), and living in Melbourne (at Studley Park Road, Kew), sends a case of this kind of work (fretwork) and some carvings, well executed. Newspaper reports award of a silver medal. The above medal is bronze and there is no mention of a bronze medal being awarded so perhaps the newspaper listing of a silver medal is incorrect.
