Question
Sacred Heart Medal
Hi Arthur,
I have an old Sacred Heart medal marked Hayward Sterling Co. I have tried to find out info. about Hayward, but I have only come up with other pieces of religious jewelry being sold. Can you help me date this medal? It was in my Mom's jewelry box. She was 80 when she passed last year, and came from a long line of Catholics. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Janet
AnswerHi Janet,
I believe the company is: A.Z Hayward & Co. I think they were located in either Attleboro MA. or Providence RI. They specialize in Base metal jewelry but also made 10K and 14K gold.
