Unusual, antique, bronze relief plaque depicting the ‘Dean of American Banking’ George Fisher Baker (1840-1931) - 4” x 4 3/4” x 1/16” - 1/8” thick, artist signed ‘ M V Hinchman 1924’ (I think that is the name), has holes at top for hanging. Baker was an investor and was the largest shareholder o the New Jersey Railroad. When he died, he was the third wealthiest man in the USA. I’m not sure why this was produced. It could be banking or railway connected.Condition is fa...irly good - no dents, not bent, patina.
