Sterling Silver Fob–Pendant – “Wix Shield Competition”, 1912
Hallmarked in Birmingham in 1912 and crafted by a silversmith with the maker's mark J.M, this sterling silver fob–pendant carries with it the quiet prestige of Edwardian sporting tradition. On the front, a proud stag stands within a shield–shaped cartouche, encircled by a ribbon boldly declaring “WIX SHIELD COMPETITION”. It is easy to imagine this piece once presented at a village gathering, the air filled with applause as it was pinned to its worthy victor.
Turning it over, the reverse reveals the engraved name L. Butler and the dates 1912–13 — a personal echo from more than a century ago, preserving the memory of its original recipient. The full set of British hallmarks not only assures its quality, but also anchors it in a precise moment of history.
A wearable memento of an earlier age, it offers the allure of fine sterling silver entwined with a whisper of the life and pride it once represented.
