Default Bill Wambsganss

According to Wikipedia, after the 1920 World Series, Cleveland fans presented Bill Wambsganss with a medal to commemorate his unassisted triple play. The medal was lost the following April while Wambsganss was traveling aboard a train.
I’m curious to know if there are any photos of the medal and if it has ever surfaced in the collecting world.

Default Medal

This was given to Neal Ball for turning baseball’s first-ever unassisted triple play in 1909. I believe they gave the same medal to Bill although I cannot be sure
