Unusual Edwardian Silver Medallion Fob in Maltese Cross Shape - Hallmarked 1909 (Sold)
A sterling silver fob or medallion in the shape of a Maltese cross is on offer here. This is a genuine English Edwardian silver item. The fob was assayed in Birmingham and has the Anchor mark for Birmingham, the Lion Passant to show it is 925 fineness English Sterling SIlver and the letter 'k' which indicates it was hallmarked in 1909. As well as the hallmark there are the letters G.L which indicates that the fob was manufactured by G.Loveridge and Co of Spencer Street, Birmingham , prolific makers of silver fobs and other items from the late VIctorian period onwards. This is a really nice fob with its Maltese cross shape further enhanced with engine engraved decoration and its plain mounted circular cartouche in the centre. The cartouch on this fob is 'vacant' which means empty and free to be engraved with initials if you want this. This silver fob is in great order with just a few surface scratches to the silver which is what you would expect on an item of jewellery which is over 100 years old. The fob medal measures 3cms by 3cms and has a fixed loop to the top holding a large bolt ring to allow it to be attached to a watch chain.
