Gold Medallion Presented to J.M. Loewenstein
14 KT. gold medallion plaque (4 x 2.5 CM) inscribed on one side "Presented by his godfather, J.M. Loewenstein" and on the reverse with the Hebrew symbol for luck and the engraving "Born August 25th, 1868". The medallion has a ring for wearing on a chain. The medallion may be related to the Loewenstein family of Rockville, Texas, with Joseph Loewenstein establishing a business there in 1873. A similar spelling, Loevenstein, appears in *Jews of South Carolina*, suggesting a possible family connection due to the common interchange of Vs and Ws by German Jews. A J. Loewenstein is documented in Beth Elohim records as early as 1818. Further research is needed.
