02 Aug 07 - 02:38 PM (#2117551) Subject: BS: Any ideas? From: Tig Looking through a box of old 'bits' we've come across an enamel badge which has what looks like a green maple leaf background and a pair of linked hands (shaking)in a cut out circle in the centre. The hands are in white. It is in very good condition. It was made by Fatorini and Sons (who went out of business in the 1930's). The parent firm were very helpful but have no record of this particular badge. Can anyone help with suggestions as to what it might be from as our research has turned up no answers? Thanks Tig |

That might help enormously as not everyone can picture images in their heads from a verbal/written description. Sure it's maple and not sycamore or plane? LTS |

I had a medallion to identify once, at the military museum I worked in. It was a large gold roundel with a yellow flower in the centre and the letters PL. Turned out to be 'The Primrose League' - a sort of Conservative club for military officers - the point is, I telephoned Spinks, the medal makers in London and they identified it in a matter of minutes from a verbal description. They might be able to help identify or at least narrow it down. LTS |
