Nice looking scarce subject matter, souvenir medallion in brass advertising Jack Busseys American Thorobread Horse Racing Track Magazine and his little green card - Winning Picks - .

It has nice die work on both sides.

Obverse at center shows a picture of one of his little green cards and the races listed.
Legend around reads;

Reverse side shows great artwork of Jocky on horse #7 walking horse to left over artwork of horseshoe open end up. Above is GOOD LUCK

Medal measures 32mm in diameter has some wear, but overall very nice, you can see a drop ding on the obverse at about 4 Oclock, not bad though.

Ive included some images of his old cards a some pictures of both sides of an old match book, shows his advertising and examples of what his product consisted of.

These are included just for informational purposes.

The inside of the matchbook reads;

Another card from 1928 and 1934 reads;
I am the originator of the Little Green Card since 1893 Chas. Bussey

For example, one card his picks for August 20, Atlantic City in the 2nd Race show a horse named;

Oh, the excitement of being up against the fence with your horse coming up to win from behind.

Dont see many advertising medallions for Horse Racing or Betting out there.
