I was fortunate recently to be able to acquire a good collection of antique & vintage sterling silver cycling prize fob medals dating from the 1890s up to the 1960s. I am now putting these medals up for auction at very reasonable starting prices (ofter below the sterling silver scrap price) but with a Buy it Now option for anyone who does not wish to wait.
This example is:
A sterling silver & enamel cycling fob medal from the 1930s.
The front of the medal depicts the Swindon Crest on a raised central roundel picked out in red, white & blue enamel. Picked out in dark blue enamel it is embossed:
"SWINDON WHEELERS C.C."
The obverse is engraved:
"1931. OPEN "50" 1ST TEAM. A. NEWLAND. 2H. 18M. 45S."
Sterling Silver Medal: Weight: 9.8 gm. Diameter: 26 mm. Hall Mark: Birmingham 1931. Maker's Mark: William Hair Haseler.
Summary: As can be seen from the photos this is an attractive & collectable vintage sterling silver cycling fob medal. Good luck!
NOTE: Please see my other listings of sterling silver cycling medals. If more than one medal is purchased please wait until you receive an invoice before paying as I am happy to combine postage.
