One British city made some copies for their people but they were steel and not this one, this one is not a replica it is the real banana. I found one in a museum so I suspect it is pretty rare. |

I will make a donation to a charity for Autistic children whether I win this auction or not. Many thanks, Dan for putting the medal in the auction and giving us a chance to bid on it and to contribute to Mudcat at the same time. Many thanks also for your beautiful songs. |
