HOME INSURANCE COMPANY The Home Insurance Company was founded in 1853 by a group of New York merchants. In 1853, insurance was quite different than it is today. Property owners purchased insurance to hedge the risk of loss. Claims were only expected to cover the value of the lost property, and sometimes covered less. Few types of insurance were available, and insurance companies were generally limited in the types of coverage they offered. Many merchants couldn't getting enough protection for their property. To address this problem, a group of New York City merchants got together and founded The Home Insurance Company. One of Home's most significant contributions to the insurance industry was the popularization of the insurance agency system. This is a Bronze Medal/Medallion/Paper Weight/Souvenir measuring approximately 3.0" in diameter. On the backside of the medallion, it has three "short legs/pegs" for displaying on a desk or table. It has the wording "The Home Insurance Company of New York" on the front side. In the center it has the wording "HOME" along with the dates 1853 and 1913. Manufactured by Whitehead & Hoag (W & H) Co. Newark, New Jersey. The mark/medallion is in very good condition, though it does show characteristics consistent with its age and usage (minor nicks, scratches etc.). This would make an excellent addition to a collection of insurance memorabilia, or a great gift for an insurance agent/broker, or insurance company employee/retiree, along with a general collection of medallions.
