Amundsen-Ellsworth Trans Polar crossing 1926: An extremely rare bronze medallion, diameter 76mm, by Tiffany & Co, commemorating the expedition. Obverse: the airship Norge, left, in clouds above the Polar region with surrounding legend “First Crossing of the Polar Sea. Under Leadership of Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth”, in the centre a tablet “Bernon Sheldon Prentice, Chairman American Advisory Committee”, the Polar representation overlaid with badges of “The American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society” and “The American Museum of Natural History”. Reverse: looking down onto the ice cap (marked “Unknown”), with the route of the flight indicated, legend “King’s Bay . North Pole. Point Barrow. Teller. 11-13 May 1926. 3393 Miles . 72 Hours”. The medallion housed in a blue leather covered case with a hinged internal “leaf” which allows viewing of both sides without the removal from the case; inside case cover marked “Tiffany New York Paris London.” The medallion, Extremely Fine, displays a fine bronze colour, the case a little wear. Together with a letter from The American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society to Bernon Sheldon Prentice, Chairman of the American Advisory Committee of the Trans Polar Trip, dated April 13th 1927, stating “…..for the greatest discovery trip ever made and apparently for the greatest non stop flight ever made by a dirigible. It was the intention of our organization to award a gold medal to each of the great discoverers but they waived that right preferring that bronze medals should be given to those who aided and advised them….” the letter tape repaired. Together with 4 sepia photographs: the Norge in flight; in a hanger; with a group of spectators (reverse marked Rome) and on the ice cap with a number of people taking out the mooring ropes. See Front Cover. Note: This was the first air crossing over the North Pole. Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer of note, had already distinguished himself being the first person to reach the South Pole, subsequently became the first person to reach both Poles. The semi rigid airship Norge was built by Colonel Umberto Nobile in Italy who joined Amundsen on the expedition. Not the most harmonious of partnerships Nobile did not always see eye to eye with the Norwegian, indeed Nobile’s name does not appear on the medallion. Spurred on by National pride, Nobile embarked on another Arctic crossing in 1928, this time with an Italian crew, in his dirigible Italia. Whilst on this voyage Italia became ice bound and crashed. Radio messages were sent and eventually led to a rescue operation involving 5 nations. Amongst those searching for Nobile was Amundsen whose own plane also crashed. Both explorers failed to return.
