Very nice Mike,
I had a watch on that but decided against bidding when the reminder went off. Glad it's gone to a good home. Michael |

It is actually a brass version of a "puffbox" which was sold in an E.P version which appears in a 1928 advert. I now have 60% of the items shown , will take some photos. .

Membership Cards
Latest addition to my Membership Card collection , I nice example from 1921.
Apart from being great historical items some also have the badge numbers on them which help me to verify when specific manufacturers/types of badges were produced/issued. This shows that their are errors in the membership numbers list in Graham Wootton's 1956 book. .

1928 Pilgrimage
Quote:
Spotted a British Legion Women's Section 1928 Pilgrimage badge in a small lot of 'mixed' pins/badges. Immediately contacted the seller and (politely) asked if they would split the lot and accept an offer for WS badge. Offered £10.00 and badge is now on its way to me ! Note : I 'think' the ribbons were used to identify which group/area the women came from. As over 3000 women attended the pilgrimage they would have needed some method to show who was in which group.

New additions !
Received these two excellent badges as a gift (Thank You !).
Life Member badge - Gaunt London makers mark and numbered k834. This indicates post WW2 , Gaunt used the lower case 'k' prefix (later from 1960 an upper case 'K' was used on 'For Merit' badges). Scottish Women's Section badge - Birmingham Medal and Badge Company makers mark . Silver hallamark for 1992. Post WW2 B.M & B.C lost the contract (to Gaunt) to manufactuer standard British Legion badges but continued to make special (gold and silver) ones plus some RBL(Scotland) items. Both badges are great additions to my collection. .

British Legion Journals
Just got these two 1944 British Legion Journals .
They are about half the size of the pre/post war journals , a case of wartime austerity ? .
