AI Reference - Hayward Sterling:
The Walter E. Hayward Company (established in 1851 in Attleboro, Massachusetts) produced their iconic sterling silver religious medals primarily from the 1930s through the 1970s. The brand ceased production and the name was discontinued when the company was acquired by the Allison Reed Group in 1977.
Their religious jewelry line spanned various Christian denominations and styles, featuring several notable pieces:
-
- Saint Christopher Medals: One of their most common designs, highly sought after by collectors today.
- Sliding/Mechanical 4-Way Medals: A popular, unique devotional piece that slid open to reveal four different images (like the Miraculous Medal and Sacred Heart).
- Denominational Medals: Pieces specifically marked for different faiths (such as "I am a Methodist" or "I am a Baptist").
- Patron Saint & Miraculous Medals: Various depictions of Mary, Saint Luke, Saint Jude, and praying hands.
Hayward medals marked with "STERLING" are highly collectible in the vintage jewelry market.
