A 1904 St Louis Olympic Games official timer's badge, the medal inscribed UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION, ST LOUIS, USA, 1904, the ribbon inscribed INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET, MAY 14TH 1904, the brooch bar inscribed TIMER Believed to be a unique item, similar examples are illustrated in Greensfelder's ''1904 Olympic Games - Official Medals & Badges''. Examples of the Chairman's & President's Badges, identical except for the bar, are in the possession of the Missouri Historical Society. The Interscholastic Meet on May 14th was the first athletic event at the 1904 Games, making this a rare and important piece of Olympic memorabilia.
