Lancashire CD buttons
2 Attachment(s)
These buttons recently cropped up in a job lot of items I received. I have not seen specific Civil Defence buttons like this named to a county before. Although there is a King's crown I am uncertain of a date; I assumed WW2 period but I suppose they could be from the later Civil Defence Corps period. Or perhaps CD isn't for Civil Defence...

I've not seen a local Civil Defence area button either.
If it turns out this design who ever wore it was in use for a very short period, could it hint at a link with this "special quality" back mark and Dowler? Rob |
A special/commemorative "stand-down" button ?
Found a letter of appreciation from the Chief Constable of Lancashire. https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.a...70330-07.1.jpg And reference to a parade in Hyde Park : Quote:

There may have been more than one production run.
My 16 mm button has backmark: Wm. Dowler & Sons Ltd, B'ham Note: It is possible that they pulled backplates from one big box with mixed backmarks. |
