Description
Gentleman's highly unusual antique pocket watch chain silver nickel shield fob which was given by a Sheffield newspaper, The Weekly Telegraph to 'The Kind Hearted Brigade'.
Members were between the ages of six and fifteen.
Rules of the Kind Hearted Brigade which members promised to keep:
1. Every member is kind to birds and animals.
2. Every member is kind and gentle to everybody.
3. Every member is truthful and honest, and will not use bad language.
4. Every member is respectful and obedient to parents, teachers and others in authority.
5. Every member is clean in mind and person.
6. Every member is helpful and happy in the home and everywhere.
(Similar to the fobs I have supplied to Pinewood Studios).
Please excuse the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures - was extremely difficult to photograph.
Measures; 3.7cm height (including the top ring), 2.3cm width and weighs a respectable 4.4 grams.
Wonderful highly polished shield shaped fob which is beautifully stamped to the front with the initials; Khb (Kind Hearted Brigade).
The back is smooth, highly polished and clearly stamped; The Weekly Telegraph Kind Hearted Brigade with a space to add a name which was not done - perhaps the recipient sadly never completed all the above promises.
Robust and secure steel top ring to attach to a Gentleman's pocket watch chain.
Excellent clean and bright condition with no damage and just a few overall light little surface scratches and tiny bit of patina (imagine this would have been suspended from a watch chain for many years) commensurate with age.
Will arrive in a new velvet presentation pouch and be very securely and safely packed.
Please view my feedback as guarantee of my integrity.
