    .375 is 9 karat gold, so I would say that it definitely has value. There is a market for antique fobs, as well as antique sports memorabilia.

    Where would be a good place to find antique sports medals for sale? EBay?

    You can search similar listings on Ebay or Etsy. That's what I usually do. With Ebay, you can refine the search results to show listings that have sold, which will give you a better idea of value. Before you consider selling the medal however, I would at least weigh it beforehand so that you know what the melt value is, which should be the absolute lowest that you will take for it.
