Audley Junior League Gold & Enamel on Silver Medal Fob

This English sterling silver medal fob bears a gold shield engraved with a knotted rope. The shield is framed with engraved laurel leaves and a blue enamel ring that reads "Audley & District Junior League 1905-6." The back of the piece is engraved: G.W. The medal is hallmarked for Birmingham, sterling silver, and 1905-06. It is also signed with the maker's mark for Vaughton & Sons, a silversmith producing in Birmingham at the time. This ornate fob makes a lovely pendant and will look great worn on one of our Ancient Influences' married chains.

Audley is a small village in Staffordshire, England. The Audley & District Junior League was likely a football or cricket club. The Audley family coat of arms includes a "fret," which consists of a bend and a bend sinister interlaced with a mascle. To our American eyes, unschooled in heraldry, a fret resembles a stylized knotted rope.

Details: The medal measures 1.15" by 1.45". In Good Antique Condition, with some losses to the enamel. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
