Unknown White Metal Badge, Caduceus, Irish, Medical, Ordnance ???
Hi everyone,
I bought a badge a couple of weeks ago that caught my eye, no idea what it is but looks military, looks British and looks quite old. I've attached a photo of the front of the badge only. It seems to have a hand above a caduceus staff and snake, the shield to the left seems to resemble ordnance, the shield to the right ?? Hertfordshire ??? Does the hand have an Irish connotation ?? Any help is greatly appreciated Screenshot_20220227_173537.jpg |

Clearly a shared municipal badge then.

The guns represent the former foundries in Rotherham which, among other things, made naval cannons, some of which were for HMS Victory. The rod and serpent represent the glass makers who specialised in medicine bottles and other pharmaceutical glassware. The shield with the three stags was the crest of Thomas Rotherham, one time Archbishop of York, a Rotherham lad. Here endeth the lesson.
