Medallic Art Co. N.Y. Eue, Franz F. (1888-1937) German-American hand engraver, medalist, sculptor. His last name is pronounced AY-veh in German, Yoo-ee in America, where his nicknames were Fritz or Hans. Became medalist early in life and created many gedenkthalers (medals in 3- and 5-mark size) for four major medal manufacturers in Germany. An accomplished hand engraver, he could cut a die, it was said, in two hour's time, cutting either hubs or dies, carving intaglio or in cameo without the use of punches. Came to America and New York City in 1926 where he worked freelance for both Medallic Art and Whitehead & Hoag (perhaps others). His most noted medallic work in America was the Sun Yat Sen Medal (1929), the Chicago Worlds Fair Medal (1933-34) and the Kaufman Medal for the National Alliance of Art and Industry (1935). He created medal series as Crackerjack and Popsicle premiums (1933), a series of zodiac medals (1935) and movie star medals (1937). He sculpted portrait busts of Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, portrait relief plaques of Charles Lindbergh and Alfred E. Smith.
