Curling is a team sport where everyone on the ice goes home with the same medal, which means a club with a good season distributes a lot of them. Skips end up with a decade of identical ribbons and no system.
Sorted onto a rail, identical stops being a problem and becomes the point — a row of the same medal is a record of a rink that kept winning. The first of the two curling designs.
Rinks order four at a time. If that is what this is, the personalised configurator can cut the team name into the steel so each of the four is the same object with the same name on it.
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 | Steel | 1 rail | 2 rails | 3 rails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 x 8 cm | 2.5 mm | 8-12 | 15-22 | 20-30 |
| 45 x 8 cm | 2.5 mm | 13-20 | 24-36 | 34-50 |
| 60 x 11 cm | 3 mm | 21-30 | 38-55 | 55-75 |
| 75 x 11.5 cm | 3 mm | 31-45 | 55-80 | 75-110 |
Bonspiel medals are usually standard size on standard ribbon, so the capacity table is accurate for this sport rather than optimistic.
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.
Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.
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.
This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 2–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
