Abstract

A physician's emblem made of metal and stained glass designed to attach to an automobile. There is a circular metal plate with a metal strip with a wing nut for attachment on the back side. On the outside circle of the seal are eight alternating pieces of green and white glass attached to the metal plate. On the interior circle striped red glass with a metal design of the rod of Asclepius and the letters M and D. The seal belonged to Dr. Arthur L. Esserman (born 1898) who was an intern at Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado from 1924 to 1926 and practiced pediatric medicine in Denver from 1926 until his death in 1952.
