This listing is for a vintage 1946 Jewish Welfare Fund Of Chicago Campaign Medal or Token. This measures 1 7/16" across and weighs 13 grams. Jewish Welfare Fund Of Chicago was founded in 1936. During World War II, some 45,000 Chicago-area Jews served in the U.S. armed forces, and nearly a thousand were killed in service. Many were awarded medals for their bravery and outstanding service. In 1948, the fund-raising efforts of the Jewish Welfare Fund was merged into the Combined Jewish Appeal, but appears to have continued operating as a separate entity under this umbrella organization. This campaign took place in 1946. I've included a screenshot from an article from The Sentinel that mentions this campaign.
