Mom's Medals Medal Hanger

Bought by children, usually, and not subtle about it

The wording is deliberate. This is a display that announces whose medals these are to everyone who walks past, which is exactly what a child buying a present for their mother wants it to do.

Practical note for whoever is actually paying: the medals are heavier than they look once there are twenty of them, and the 60 and 75 cm sizes are cut from 3 mm steel for that reason rather than for appearance.

If the children are doing the buying, the 45 cm size is usually within a child's budget and still holds twenty medals — worth mentioning to whoever is helping them.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Twenty medals fit on 45 cm across two rails. That covers most amateur collections.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 3–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
