ADELAIDE (EXHIBITION), 1881, prize medal in gilt silver (29.5mm), no maker, reverse inscribed, 'Morris Little/& Son/Phenyle'. A few very minor edge nicks and a few small marks in obverse field, otherwise very fine and scarce gilt issue.
This medal was awarded to Morris Little & Son in the Disinfectants Section of the Adelaide Exhibition held in 1881. Little's soluble phenyle was awarded a First Order of Merit along with Hesse's soluble carbolic compound, however the judges stated that they had a leaning in favour of the phenyle.
