2-5/8" tall with brass bar inscribed with the title "Work And Win." This was a 'Dime Novel' from New York publisher Frank Tousey, specializing in low-cost pulp fiction stories for mass consumption. The more well-known firm of Street & Smith apparently provided his most meaningful competition. The full title of this publication was "Work & Win: An Interesting Weekly For Young America." We've found a beginning date of December 9, 1898 and apparently the publication lasted until 1925. The item offered here is most likely c. 1899. It features, with portrait and name, the hero of the stories "Fred Fearnot," a bright youth who travels the world doing good deeds. We know of one example of this which has a reverse picturing his female associate "Evelyn". However, this is the one example we know of with medal reverse picturing "Admiral George Dewey". Marked by maker "W&H Co. Newark, N.J."  NM displaying Mint. Likely the first ever 'Dime Novel' or pulp magazine related premium and likely preceding the Frank Merriwell premium badge (first advertised  Jan. 1900) by one year. Rare.
