Success Is Measured Medal Hanger

For a collection with a gap in the middle

Most long collections have one — the stress fracture year, the surgery, the eighteen months when there were no races because life had other plans. The medals on either side of that gap are not the same kind of medal.

This phrase is about what it took rather than what was won, which is why it tends to be chosen for a comeback rather than for a best season. Cut from AISI 304 stainless steel in four widths.

Collections that span an injury tend to be hung chronologically, which puts the gap in the middle where it is visible. Some people prefer that; some hang the recent years first.

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?

Hanging chronologically needs more room than hanging tightly. If that is the plan, go wider.

The steel, and why it matters

Every medal display in the range is AISI 304 — the same grade used for kitchen surfaces and marine fittings — at 2.5-3 mm depending on width. It doesn't rust, doesn't chip, and doesn't need looking after.

The bar is continuous. That's the whole difference from a hook rack: hooks give you a fixed count, a rail gives you a length.

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.
