hddennis Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just purchased this online and before it arrives I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows what it is? Supposed to be 8 inches tall and seller said it was from 1978 trek of H.H. Franklin Club but knew nothing else. Is it a souvenir given to all participants, a trophy or a fund raiser that was purchased? Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It was given to all Trek registered participants as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f147pu Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It is a memento of the 25th Trek, 5.5" high. The same thing was done in copper for the 10th Trek. Gordon Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate the help. Any guess of roughly how many would have been made for a trek back then? Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If there were 150 people registered for that trek then perhaps 175-200 were produced. Every person who attended did not get one, there would have been one per family , ie if Dad registered and brought along his wife and 12 kids, they would have only received the one souvenir. If I recall the molds for the 10th trek souvenir were located, and reworked to note the 25th trek information. I will have one of these, like you just bought for sale at my spaces at Hershey (Red Field RNG 10-11 ) as well a a good selection of Franklin instruction books/owners manuals for the series 10 thru 17.
