I recently managed to acquire a small collection of silver agricultural prize medals and I am now putting these medals up for sale.
This item is:
Large sterling silver pig breeders medal weighing an impressive 65.8 gm.
The front of the medal depicts a prize pig in relief and is embossed:
"THE NATIONAL PIG BREEDERS ASSOCIATION. AWARDED TO"
Details of the medal recipient are also engraved:
"E.B.E. BIRD. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SHOW 1953"
The obverse depicts a Classical Greek pastural scene in relief showing a herdsman with his pigs.
Sterling Silver Medal: Weight: 65.8 gm. Diameter: 50 mm. Hall Mark: Birmingham 1953. Maker's Mark: Mappin & Webb.
Summary: Pig medals are highly collectable & this is a superb example. I am happy to start the listing at just £75 but I have included a Buy it Now option if a buyer is not prepared to wait. Good luck!
