The Preston titles and badges look interesting. Would the titles be considered mid 50’s era, or say pre 1960?

Back in the 1920's Egyptian themed jewelry was a popular fad, thanks to Howard Carter and King Tut's pyramid and the like, sphinx brooches and neck pendants including cheap brass ones. Singer produced sewing machines decorated with sphinx transfers.
The cheap quality jewelry, the sewing machines, they were still quite easily found in junk shops in the UK 20-25 years ago.
