Last try £60.

A rare badge by this maker. I’m quite sure certain dealers would ask close to double this due to the mark.

QC-era isn’t my thing but the slider ‘could’ date to the 1950s albeit they have been used for later restrikes. You would need someone to check if a metal East Lancs was sealed or they went to...

Very nice Tim, an early badge with a long slider 1903-05.



A fine example of the 1916 all Gm issue, SP 4734A/1916. In April of that year 3,000 were ordered.

A slanted ‘O’ is found on the Genuine Gaunt die and what I believe is a genuine alternative manufacturer variant. But it is also found on two different fake dies.
