This is my third and final try at getting this article "published" with Wikipedia. Somebody {{help me}} or don't. It took me several hours (with my arthritis) to write this little bit but as the Grandson of the founder of Dieges & Clust (Col. Charles J. Dieges) I promise the information below dies with me. The only references left (since the business was sold 32 years ago) are those verifiable from various auctions (Hunt, Sotheby's), eBay, Google and Wikipedia itself (see 1904 Olympic medal and Eagle Scout Medal). Google's page has three solid sources

Also, any Google searches of individual items below will turn up many sources...however I am giving up...I hope this finds the right hands.

Dieges & Clust was a jewellers established in 1898 by Col. Charles J. Dieges (b.1865-d.1953). They produced many medals including the Spanish-American War Medal, The 1904 Olympic Medal, The Eagle Scout medal from 1916–1920, The Medal of Honour and (at the request of "The Unsinkable" Mrs. Molly Brown) The Titanic-Carpathia Medals. The Five Figural Spalding Trophies made in the 1920s and 1930s are considered some of the finest sports trophies. Baseball's first Most Valuable Player Awards and many Baseball Press Pins as well as Lou Gehrig's farewell Plaque were made by Dieges & Clust. Also, from their inception in 1935 they cast the Heisman Trophy (in New York and later Providence, Rhode Island) through late 1979 when the company was sold to Herff Jones (a division of Carnation) on January 1, 1980.

I reckon I can dredge up enough to get this past the notability criteria, and will put a few sources into the page. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:18, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's a couple in, more are available via Google books and Google News Archive. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:25, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I need some help with how to put up references and pictures for the addition to the Dieges & Clust article (below). It may be more HTML or whatever it's called than I can handle. I'm old...I have crippling arthritis...it took me hours to write this. So PLEASE help or tell me how to do it (is there a template). Here's a link to a photo that needs to be on the page for the portion of the article below [citation needed]...

The height of Dieges & Clust's talents, came out of the Roaring Twenties. In keeping with the excess of that era, they produced what has come to be known in sports collecting circles as, "The Five Figural Spalding Baseball Trophies" and are considered by many to be the finest sports trophies. Each trophy has a baseball player either Pitching, Catching, Batting, at First Baseman or a Fielder. The proportions of the figures and the detail (of the faces, fingers, stitching in the baseball gloves and shoelaces) are remarkable and they command exorbitant prices at auction for a silver plated trophy on a wooden base (up to $5,000.00).
