Helen Hayes' Medal, Made of Diamonds & 14k Gold

Helen Hayes' ''Circus Saints and Sinners'' gold medal adorned with a triad of diamonds. Hayes counted this award along with her Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, one of just eleven people ever to win all four.

The Circus Saints and Sinners organization in Pittsburgh, PA began as a retirement fund for circus performers. It segued into broader philanthropic endeavors as the circus diminished when television took center stage for entertainment. 14k gold medallion features the organization's logo dotted with a trinity of round brilliant cut diamonds, each measuring approximately .03 carat. Engraved name ''CIRCUS SAINTS AND SINNERS'' arcs across the top. Reverse is engraved ''HELEN / HAYES / Lambert Bros.'' Top center features a loop for suspending from a chain. Medal measures 1.5'' in diameter. Faint scratching to reverse, else near fine. From the Helen Hayes estate.
