Switzerland. EARLY 20TH CENTURY STREET SCENE WITH CARRIAGES, AND AN AUTOMOBILE. By Huegenin. Bronze 40mm. $90.

The Huegenin die-sinking establishment was established in Switzerland as in 1868. It initially produced watch cases and medals, but as the former went out of fashion, they specialized more in medals. Its two principal partners, Fritz Huegenin-Jacot and Henri Huguenin were both engaged in medal engraving. In 1968 the firm celebrated its centenary and was renamed Huguenin M?dailleurs SA. It remains the foremost producer of medals in Switzerland.
