THE BRENNER HANEY MEDAL

  Mike Marotta writes: "On the Usenet newsgroup
  rec.collecting.coins,  Roger DeWardt Lane asked about a
  medal designed by Victor D. Brenner.  (Lane is the author of
  "Modern Dime Size Coins of the World", a CD which won
  the 2003 Numismatic Literary Guild Award for for Best
  Software.)  Lane found the medal at a swap meet.  The
  obverse shows a woman reading a manuscript;  in the exergue
  is "For Fine Craftsmanship." The reverse says "Haney Medal
  Awarded 1940 by the School Art League of New York City"
  with "Medallic Art Co." below.  Brenner's name is vertical
  along the left side of the obverse.  Lane asked, "Who was
  Haney?"

  Searching the Worldwide Web via Google, I put together a
  long reply and posted it to RCC in the thread "Does anyone
  know who HANEY was?"   Here is a synopsis:

  James Parton Haney was an art educator.  He is associated
  with the School Art League of New York City. He had at
  least one exhibition of his own drawings in Chicago  March
  15 thru April 2, 1917.  He edited a book in 1908 titled: "Art
  Education in the Public Schools of the United States." You
  can see Haney's work at the John H. Vanderpoel Art
  Association in Chicago. Dr. Mary Ann Stankiewicz (Penn
  State) said in the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education
  maillist newsletter: "...Frank Alvah Parsons and Henry Turner
  Bailey and James Parton Haney who believed they had
  qualifications that insured their superiority over female
  teachers of art and art amateurs..."

  While I was uploading that, Bust coin enthusiast, Byron L.
  Reed, posted this: "It might be James Parton Haney, a
  painter."

  The medal can be seen at Medal Image "
