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.

It is all hand made and the cameo is signed with the etched signature of the artist on the back. Looks like it reads "Selz". Size is 2 1/4" from top to bottom by 1 3/4" wide. Depth is just over 3/8" from back to the top of the cameo. The cameo itself is 1 3/16" tall by 1" wide across. Weight is 14.4 grams. The back edge of the cameo has a small surface scratch; Not a crack. The pinback was upgraded to a locking clasp many, many years ago and is excellent; it works well, is strong and secure. The goldsmith did a very good job. The cameo is bezel set with 2 hand applied pins in the frame, thereby, allowing it to spin around freely. There is no back cover but the inside of the back is very deep, almost 3/8" and would be a great conversion for any hair or keepsake or momento if jeweler could add a flat back. There is a lot of gold in this pendant. Or it can just be worn the way it is without the addition of a cover. The cameo LEFT FACING and exquisitely carved with beautiful intricate details.....very fancy carved hair draping down the neck, fancy hairpieces, deep wide open intaglio eyes, sharp crisp pointed nose and mouth, earring. The 10K gold on the front is 3/16" deep in most places, has very fine quality Victorian work with deep engraving amid fancy scrolls. The back has a couple of very minor pinpoint size dings...maybe 1/10 of 1mm....very very tiny and minor. The large size, weight, depth, spinning and carving make this is an absolutely gorgeous and rare Victorian for your antique gold collection or to use as a pendant pin or add a back cover for a spectacular rare memorial item!!
