Step Into a World of Distinguished Heritage…
Presenting an evocative Sterling silver fob, showcasing the artistry of early twentieth-century silversmithing by William Osborn Lewis, esteemed craftsman of Howard Street, Birmingham. The obverse features elegant repoussé-style scrolling, culminating in a raised shield applied to the centre. On the reverse, the fob bears the inscription "Runners Up 1926," a subtle memento of achievement, together with full British hallmarking that attests to its authenticity.
Crafted from solid sterling silver, this piece possesses a reassuring weight—a tangible reminder of enduring quality. The rear is professionally struck with the maker’s mark W.O.L inside a rectangular cartouche, identifying William Osborn Lewis as the silversmith.
Unengraved on the front, and with only an award inscription on the back, and kept in pristine condition, the fob retains a quiet yet dignified allure. This is far more than a simple pendant; it is a wearable relic of history, evoking a bygone era yet eminently suited to contemporary style.
Whether you hold a regard for heritage, expert craftsmanship, or distinctive design, this Birmingham creation stands as a testament to both skill and tradition. It is far more than mere jewellery: it is a legacy to be worn, cherished, and entrusted through generations.
